• Serves: 24

Ingredients

• 1  bulb of garlic
• 1  tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1⁄4 lb butter

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Cut about a half inch off the top of the garlic bulb.
3. Place the bulb in a small baking dish. Drizzle the top with the olive oil.
4. Cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake for 1 hour.
5. Set the butter out to soften as you put the garlic in the oven.
6. When the garlic is done, let it cool enough to handle. You should be able to just squeeze the cloves out of the husk.
7. Put the softened butter and the garlic cloves in a mixing bowl, and mix together until thoroughly integrated.
8. 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.
