Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 heads garlic
6 teaspoons olive oil
3 teaspoons butter
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary or 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
8 ounces Roquefort cheese, crumbled
French baguette, sliced (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cut ½ inch from the top end (opposite root end) of each garlic head, exposing cloves.
Remove any loose papery outer skin.
Place garlic, cut side up, in center of a 10-inch square cut from a double thickness of heavy aluminum foil.
Bring foil up around the garlic bulb to form a bowl.
Sprinkle garlic with rosemary and basil over bulb and add 1 teaspoon olive oil and ½ teaspoon butter on each bulb.
Close the foil completely by twisting the tops and place in oven under medium heat or on rack of uncovered grill for 30 minutes- this may all be prepared 8 hours in advance- cover and chill.
Melt Roquefort until creamy and serve by spreading cheese on the slices of bread and put garlic cloves on top with fork.
