| Prep time | 1 1⁄2 hours |
| 1 | garlic (bulb) | |
| olive oil | ||
| 1⁄2 | Cup | butter (1 stick, unsalted) |
| 2 1⁄2 | Ounce | asiago cheese (finely grated) |
| 1⁄2 | Teaspoon | salt |
Cut 1/2 inch off the top of a whole garlic bulb. Drizzle olive oil and wrap loosely in foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour until tender. Squeeze the whole bulb of roasted garlic into a medium bowl and add the butter. With an electric beater or a wooden spoon, beat the butter and garlic until well blended. Add cheese, salt, and cayenne. Gradually mix in the flour until just combined. On a sheet of waxed paper, knead the dough briefly to gather in the loose crumbs. Roll into a 9-inch log. Wrap the log and slice it into 1/4 inch-thick slices. Place the slices 1 inch apart on an ungreased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the center of the oven for 12-15 minutes or until very lightly browned at the edges. Let the thins cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes. Carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Grated parmesan or dry monterey jack cheese can be substituted for the asiago cheese. Additional roasted garlic and butter make a nice spread or dip when pureed together.
