Garlic Confit seems to be trending everywhere – and I’m loving it!

For those who are unfamiliar, it is simply garlic cloves softly cooked in olive oil with herbs and spices. I infuse mine with red chili pepper, four color peppercorns and herbs, which create a delicious combination of complex flavors.

Spread this garlic confit over crusty artisan Mediterra Bakehouse bread from Heinen’s Bakery with a swirl of whipped ricotta for a type of toast that can be enjoyed any time of day!
