Baked Garlic With Chevre Sauce

Recipe Ingredients

6		Heads of garlic - (or more)
1 tablespoon	15ml	Butter
1/4 cup	59ml	Olive oil - (up to 1/2 cup)
		Salt and pepper - to taste
1 teaspoon	5ml	Dried dill
6 oz	170g	Chevre cheese - (up to 8)
1/4 cup	59ml	Yogurt
		Crusty french bread

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 275F. Slice across the top of each garlic head to expose the buds. Pack the heads into a shallow baking dish, dot each one with butter and pour the olive oil over them. Season with salt, pepper and dill and bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until tender (almost mushy), basting occasionally.

Blend the Chevre with the yogurt, adding salt if desired. Put the Chevre sauce in a dish and serve with the garlic, one head or more per person. Squish the innards of the garlic all over the bread, smear it in the oil (from the baking dish) and the cheese sauce, and eat till you're messy.
