Eggplant and Sun-dried Tomato SpreadQuentin Bacon

A whole head of roasted garlic lays the foundation for an eggplant spread that's silky and satisfying, while chopped sun-dried tomatoes, fresh parsley, basil, and lemon add a healthy dose of sunshine, brightening its flavor and color. Serve it with thin slices of toasted baguette for a great take on crostini.

Cooks' note:

Spread, without herbs, can be made 1 day ahead and chilled. Bring to room temperature and stir in herbs before serving.
