Roasted Garlic

1 head of garlic
Butter and fresh thyme (optional)

Using a sharp knife, cut the pointed top off the garlic head so that the cloves are just visible through the cuts in the top of the garlic. Several hours before serving, put the garlic in the oven at 250 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Remove and let cool.

Just before serving, put the garlic on a heatproof serving dish; garnish with butter and crossed sprigs of fresh thyme, if desired. Heat oven to 450 degrees and roast garlic for 5-10 minutes, or until brown all across the top. Serve while still warm.
