Garlic Dip

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
15 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
4 ounces cream cheese
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 bunch scallions, green and white parts both, thinly sliced

In a medium pan over low heat, warm the olive oil and stir in the
garlic. Season with salt and cook until the “raw” garlic taste
disappears and the slices are tender, 3-5 minutes.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle, blend the
cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Season with salt and add the
garlic, hot sauce and the scallions. Blend until smooth.
