Yield: 4

Ingredients

1 whole head garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground mixed peppercorns
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Steps

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Slice off the top third of the head of garlic so the tips of the cloves are exposed. Place in a small baking dish, and add just enough water to cover the bottom of the dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the garlic, then cover with a lid or foil. Bake for 45 minutes.n
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Mix together the flour and milk so there are no lumps, and pour into the pan with the butter. Bring to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly until thickened, about 5 minutes. Squeeze the garlic cloves from their skin, and mash. Stir garlic into the sauce, and season with salt, peppercorns, and nutmeg.n
