Happy Garlic Breath to You

Have you ever tasted Garlic Bundle appetizers? Have you ever put something in your mouth and knew right then and there that you were going to gain two hundred pounds in the next few seconds? Have you ever refused garlic because you were worried about your breath afterwards? I haven't, though maybe I should. I usually just tell French Husband, "Eat those," as I point to the garlic whatever, "because I did, and two garlic breaths are better than one."

Dinner:

Garlic Bundles with a green salad,

roasted green beans and a bottle of wine.

I called Sacha and French Husband downstairs.

Garlic Bundles

  • 3 large heads of garlic, separated the cloves, use only the chubby ones.
  • 1/2 package of phyllo dough
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 2 cups dried bread crumbs.
  • 3 artichoke hearts optional

 

How to make Garlic Bundles

Peel garlic, lick your fingers, imagine your taste buds getting silly.Wash your hands, 

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Cut the phyllo dough into three fingers wide strips.
Brush with melted butter, do not be stingy.
Place a chubby clove of garlic at one end.
Sprinkle finely chopped roasted walnuts along length of strip.
Roll up garlic clove and walnuts in strip, tucking in side edges as you roll.
Your fingers will be covered with happiness, 
Dare not to lick.
Brush bundle with more generous liquid gold (butter).
Roll the Garlic Bundle in bread crumbs.
Repeat with remaining phyllo strips, one bundle after another.
Place bundles on a flat baking sheet.
Bake 20 minute or until golden.

For added pleasure, chop a few artichokes into the roasted walnuts.

Happy garlic breath to you!

After note:

I do not have a photo of the bundles, nor dinner. Taking photos at night does not show my good side.

  1. *drool* Definitely want artichoke hearts with mine!
    As if you needed any excuse to finish up the other half of the package of phyllo dough anyhow, you’ll just have to make these again soon — and during daytime, so you can photograph them for us. Why, it’s you civic duty 😉

  2. They sound yummy.

  3. These sound like a wondeful appetizer. I have alwyas liked baked garlic…it takes away the edge.

  4. Yes please…I would like this for lunch…or supper..

  5. Garlic breath or not I absolutely love garlic and eat is as often as possible. One of my favourite ways to cook it is a whole head of garlic, top chopped flat, in the over in with a tray of vegetables and roast for half an hour. Husband and I then eat a whole head each. Healthy and delicious! I will certainly be making these garlic bundles, thank you, and I know the children are going to love them too.

  6. Oh my, this sounds fantastic! my mouth is watering and I shared it with my daughter as well, hoping she would make it for one of our get-togethers. Always, such deliciousness I find in your blog….visual, as well.

  7. Driving near Gilroy, California (the self-proclaimed Garlic Capital of the World), one can smell the perfume of “the stinking rose” while passing the warehouses from which the garlic is shipped, and factories where garlic is processed. Yummmm…
    We long ago stopped at a garlic visitors’ center in Gilroy, but have yet to attend the festival:

  8. I must try this. It sounds delicious, especially with the artichoke. The other night I had pasta with olive oil and so much garlic that I burped garlic all night long.

    My taste buds really went silly, complètement fous, just by reading your recipe !! Your bundles must look like little jewels and taste heavenly.I definately will have a try at it, with the artichokes ( my fave vegetable). Take care and see you soon in the cheese alley of Monop’ ! 😊

  10. I’m gonna have to try this as I have happen to have phyllo in the freezer but have never made it before & we like garlic..just baked a whole bulb tonite.
