Whole Roasted Garlic with Goat Cheese

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.

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 2  large garlic heads
• 2  tablespoons olive oil
•  salt
•  fresh ground black pepper
• 1  ounce  goat cheese, from a log

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Remove any loose papery skins from the outside of the garlic heads; cut off the top 1/3 of the heads to open the cloves; set aside for another use; place the heads in a small baking dish, cut sides up; pour olive oil over them and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Cover the dish tightly and bake until 3/4 done, about 45 minutes; uncover and continue to bake another 15 minutes or until the cloves begin to pop out of their skins and brown.
4. Top each head with 1/2 ounce slice of goat cheese and broil until golden, about 1 minute; serve warm.
