• Using a teaspoon or grapefruit spoon, remove the seeds from the tomatoes. Place the tomato halves, cut side down, on paper towels to drain, about 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Using clean hands, gently toss the drained tomato halves in the oil mixture until coated. Marinate the tomatoes for 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl mix together the bread crumbs and Gorgonzola cheese.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place garlic cloves in a small baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil, and bake until cloves are soft and fragrant, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Place butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; add garlic and remaining salt and pepper. Beat until well combined. Scrape butter onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape into a log; freeze until firm, about 20 minutes. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

• Place the gorgonzola-garlic bread on the lined baking tray and place in the oven until the cheese has melted, approximately 2 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Make garlic oil:
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Wrap garlic head in foil and roast in middle of oven until tender, about 45 minutes. Carefully unwrap garlic and cool. Horizontally halve garlic head and arrange, cut sides down, in a small bowl with oil. Let mixture stand, covered and chilled, 2 to 3 days to infuse oil with garlic flavor.
• Preheat broiler.
• In a saucepan boil cream, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1/2 cup. Add Gorgonzola and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until cheese melts and sauce is smooth. Remove pan from heat and keep sauce warm, covered.
• Horizontally halve baguette and arrange, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Broil bread 2 to 3 inches from heat until golden. (If crust is soft, you may broil crust side of baguette as well.) Brush cut sides of baguette with garlic oil and season with salt. Cut baguette crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices.
• Pour warm Gorgonzola sauce onto center of a large plate and arrange roasted garlic bread slices around sauce.

Steps:

• For gorgonzola butter:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Place garlic on piece of foil; drizzle with olive oil. Enclose garlic in foil. Bake until garlic is very soft, about 1 hour. Cool. Squeeze garlic cloves out from papery skins into medium bowl; mash garlic with fork. Mix in butter, cheese, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer Gorgonzola butter to sheet of plastic wrap. Using plastic wrap as aid, form butter into 1 1/4-inch-diameter log, wrapping plastic tightly around butter. Chill until firm. (Can be made 2 days ahead; keep chilled.) Cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.
• For onion rings:
• Pour buttermilk into large bowl. Add onion rings; toss to coat. Let stand 1 hour, tossing occasionally. Mix flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in another large bowl.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour enough oil into heavy large skillet to reach depth of 3 inches. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F. Working with a few onion rings at a time, shake off excess buttermilk, then turn onion rings in flour mixture to coat. Fry onion rings until deep golden brown, adjusting heat as necessary for each batch to maintain temperature at 350°F, about 2 minutes. Transfer onion rings to paper towels to drain, then place on baking sheet and keep warm in oven while frying remaining onion rings.
• For steaks:
• Brush steaks with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 2 large nonstick skillets over medium-high heat. Add 3 steaks to each skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve with Gorgonzola butter and onion rings.

• Cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake for 1 hour.
• Set the butter out to soften as you put the garlic in the oven.
• When the garlic is done, let it cool enough to handle. You should be able to just squeeze the cloves out of the husk.
• Put the softened butter and the garlic cloves in a mixing bowl, and mix together until thoroughly integrated.
• To store, scrape the mixture onto a piece of parchment or wax paper, roll into a fat, sausage shaped log, and the twist the ends shut.
