Ingredients:





     6    Whole heads of garlic; (or


          -more)


     1 tb Butter


   1/4 c  Olive oil; (up to 1/2 cup)


          Salt and pepper; to taste


     1 ts Dried dill


     6 oz Chevre cheese; (up to 8)


   1/4 c  Yogurt


          Crusty French bread






 Preheat the oven to 275 F. Slice across the top of each garlic head to


 expose the buds. Pack the heads into a shallow baking dish, dot each one


 with butter and pour the olive oil over them. Season with salt, pepper and


 dill and bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until tender (almost mushy), basting


 occasionally. Blend the Chevre with the yogurt, adding salt if desired. Put


 the Chevre sauce in a dish and serve with the garlic, one head or more per


 person. Squish the innards of the garlic all over the bread, smear it in


 the oil (from the baking dish) and the cheese sauce, and eat till you're


 messy.
