This ridiculously delicious Olive Oil Dip recipe is a total flavour bomb and is an easy appetizer to whip up on short notice!! My family love it and it’s a must have with a glass of red when friends pop over.  Just serve hunks of bread around little ramekins of this toasted garlic oil and watch it disappear!

Olive Oil Dip

  • 6-8 Cloves fresh garlic
  • 1 tbsp Extra light oil (for frying)
  • 1/2 tsp Dried oregano
  • 2 tsp Chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 tsp Chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/2 cup Respect extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
  • 1 pinch Sea salt, if you have it try truffle salt
  • Fresh ground pepper, to taste
  • 1 Large crusty baguette

  1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and drop in the unpeeled garlic. Simmer the garlic in the water for 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove and transfer the garlic to a cutting board.

  2. Once safe to handle, peel and finely mince the garlic.

  3. Place the tablespoon of oil into a small 8-inch stainless skillet and heat over medium to medium high. Once hot, add the garlic and cook until golden, stirring often.

  4. Transfer garlic to a paper towel lined plate.

  5. Divide the herbs, garlic and olive oil among a few bread dipping saucers and sprinkle with salt (truffle salt if you have it) and pepper.

  6. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over top of the garlic and seasoning.

  7. Serve with a loaf of crusty bread.
