Ingredients

16 tablespoons Butter at room temperature
2 Heads garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoon Chopped fresh herbs like Basil thyme, parsley, chives, cilantro
Parchment paper

Instructions

Remove the butter from the refrigerator and allow it to come
to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Cut off ¼ from the top of the head of garlic and place it on a piece of aluminum foil.
Drizzle the olive oil over the top and sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring the two sides together and fold into a pouch. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove from
the oven and let cool.
Once the garlic can be handled, squeeze from the bottom of the bulb and the cloves will come right out of the top, place the cloves in a bowl.
Add the softened butter, fresh herbs to the bowl and mix until combined.
Place the butter mixture in a log on a piece of parchment paper. Fold one end of the parchment paper over the butter and roll like a tube as tight as you can get it. Twist the ends and place in the refrigerator until firm.
Cut slices to use on fresh bread, chicken, steak, potatoes, or even pasta. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
