      4    Cloves garlic; left whole
      2 tb Olive oil or clarified
           -butter
    1/8 ts Salt
    1/8 ts Black pepper

  Heat the oven to 350°F. Trim the tops of the garlic heads, leaving
  them whole but removing about 1/4 inch. Remove excess dry skins. Rub
  the heads with a little of the butter or oil and put in a very small
  baking dish or crock the size of the four heads. Drizzle with the
  rest of the oil or butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper, cover
  loosely, reduce heat to 275°F and bake for 20 minutes. Remove cover
  and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Slice and heat the French
  bread (optional) in the last 10 minutes of the baking garlic.
  
  To serve: Spread French bread with soft creamy cheese (optional) or
  butter and squeeze clove by clove onto the bread and spread it.
  
  NOTES : Barely sweet and mild roasted garlic spread on French bread
  slices. Each clove is squeezed out of its skin onto the bread. It can
  be served by itself with the bread or with butter, cream cheese or
  soft cheese. Recipe
