Whole Roasted Garlic With Goat Cheese - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0.
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.
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.
Top each head with 1/2 ounce slice of goat cheese and broil until golden, about 1 minute; serve warm.
