Serves:

1 loaf

Ingredients

• 1 head garlic, unpeeled
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup (2-sticks) butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons minced parsley leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1loaf sourdough bread, split horizontally

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Cut top off garlic head. Place garlic on a piece of aluminum foil; drizzle with olive oil. Fold edges together to seal. Bake 30 minutes; cool.

Squeeze cooked garlic into a medium bowl. Garlic will be soft and sticky. Add butter, parsley salt and pepper, stirring to combine.

Spread cut halves of bread evenly with garlic butter mixture. Broil 5 1/2 inches from heat, with oven door partially opened, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until butter melts and bread is toasted. Cut into slices to serve.
