Roasted Garlic & Tomato Spread

Ingredients:
1.  2 whole garlic bulbs
2.  3 t. olive oil divided
3.  3 plum tomatoes quartered
4.  1 (8 oz) carton spreadable chive & onion cream cheese
5.  1/4 t. Italian seasoning
6.  1/4 t. salt

Method:  Remove papery outer skin from garlic (do not peel or separate cloves).  Cut tops off garlic bulbs; brush each with 1/2 t. oil.  Wrap each bulb in heavy-duty foil.  Place garlic and tomatoes in a foil-lined 9" square baking pan.  Brush tomatoes with remaining oil. Bake at 425 for 30-35 minutes or until garlic is softened.  Cool for 10-15 minutes; squeeze garlic into a small bowl.  Drain any liquid from tomatoes; chop and add to garlic.  Stir in the cream cheese, Italian seasoning and salt.  Serve with your favorite crackers or snack breads.
