Your guests will think you burned the garlic bread! An exciting way to serve garlic bread.
2 bulbs black garlic
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 loaf French bread
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Slice off tops of garlic bulbs and separate the cloves from the paper. Place them in a food processor, along with butter. Process until smooth.
Slice bread in half width-wise, then lengthwise and place on a baking sheet. Spread garlic butter on all cut sides. Bake about 12 minutes, or until bread is slightly crusty. Let cool down for a couple of minutes before cutting into slices. A real conversation piece. Good for about 6 people.
