Ingredients

Directions

Add the smoked garlic cloves, with their skins, to the milk and slowly bring to the boil. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
Beat the egg yolks with the warm cream and add a little of the hot milk – beating vigorously to avoid lumps.
Add the egg yolks and cream to the simmering mixture, continuing to stir rapidly.
Remove from the heat and force through a sieve to cream the garlic, discarding the skins.
Season with salt and pepper.
Allow to cool and serve with crisp toast fingers to dip into the mixture.

Why Smoked Garlic Works in This Recipe

Smoked garlic transforms a simple dip into something rich, mellow and deeply flavourful. The smoking process softens the sharpness of raw garlic, creating a smooth, slightly sweet taste that blends beautifully into creamy bases. Discover more ways to use it in our smoked garlic guide.
