4		Garlic cloves - left whole
2 tablespoons	30ml	Olive oil or clarified butter
1/8 teaspoon	0.6ml	Salt
1/8 teaspoon	0.6ml	Black pepper
1		Loaf French bread - sliced and heated
6 oz	170g	Cream cheese or soft cheese - (optional) or 1/2 cup butter - softened

Recipe Instructions

Heat the oven to 350F. Trim the tops of the garlic heads, leaving them whole but removing about 1/4 inch. Remove excess dry skins. Rub the heads with a little of the butter or oil and put in a very small baking dish or crock the size of the four heads.

Drizzle with the rest of the oil or butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper, cover loosely, reduce heat to 275F and bake for 20 minutes. Remove cover and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Slice and heat the French bread (optional) in the last 10 minutes of the baking garlic.

To serve: Spread French bread with soft creamy cheese (optional) or butter and squeeze clove by clove onto the bread and spread it.
