Whole Roasted Garlic with Goat Cheese

sugarpea's Note:

So perfect with a crusty baguette! Wonderful as a side to meaty entrees. I use this dish to bribe Dh into tackling his honey-do list. It's never let me down. This is an adaptation of a Rozanne Gold dish.

Ingredients:

excellent. this was absolutely delicious and even better; simple to make. i ended up eating the entire thing myself; using the last serving to spread on good italian bread. i followed the recipe exactly and will make this again for sure.
