Ingredients

Scale

Roasted Garlic

  • 1 bulb Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil

Toast Base

  • 2 slices Whole Grain Bread

Toppings

  • 4 slices Buffalo Mozzarella Ball
  • 1 Avocado
  • 1/2 cup Pomegranate Seeds
  • Ground Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the garlic bulb: Cut about 1/2 inch (1 cm) off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the tops of the cloves. Gently peel off the excess papery skin, leaving the skins on the individual cloves intact for roasting.
  2. Oil and wrap the garlic: Pour 1 teaspoon of olive oil into the bulb to coat the cloves, then wrap the bulb tightly in aluminum foil.
  3. Roast the garlic: Place the foil-wrapped garlic directly onto the oven rack preheated to 400°F (200°C). Roast for 30 to 40 minutes until the cloves are soft and easily mashable. Allow to cool slightly before handling. Keep the oven on for later use.
  4. Prepare the toppings: Slice the buffalo mozzarella into 1/4-inch thick slices. Thinly slice the avocado for layering on the toast.
  5. Toast the bread: Lightly toast 2 slices of whole grain bread in a toaster until crisp but not overly browned.
  6. Spread roasted garlic: Using a garlic press or your fingers, mash 2 to 4 cloves of the roasted garlic and spread evenly over the toasted bread slices. Add more garlic if you prefer a stronger garlic flavor.
  7. Add mozzarella: Top each piece of toast evenly with 2 slices of buffalo mozzarella.
  8. Melt the cheese: Arrange the topped toasts on a baking sheet and place them in the 400°F oven for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the cheese becomes melty and soft.
  9. Finish with avocado and pomegranate: Remove the toasts from the oven and quickly layer the sliced avocado on top of the melting cheese. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds and season with ground black pepper to taste before the cheese cools and hardens.

Notes

  • You can adjust garlic quantity based on your preference for garlic intensity.
  • To prevent sogginess, spread the mashed roasted garlic evenly and toast the bread well.
  • For a vegan option, substitute buffalo mozzarella with vegan cheese.
  • Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the contrast of warm melty cheese and fresh toppings.
  • Leftover roasted garlic can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week and used in other dishes.
