Lay a medium square of aluminum foil out on a baking pan and place the garlic onto the foil. Drizzle the garlic with the olive oil and sprinkle it with salt.
3 whole heads of garlic, 2 teaspoons olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt
Wrap up the garlic and bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the garlic is a light golden color.
Let the garlic cool for 10 to 15 minutes then squeeze it out of the peels into a small bowl. Press and stir until it is fairly smooth.
Use a hand mixer to whip the butter in a medium bowl. Add the garlic and continue to mix until combined. Stir in the chives then spread over toasted baguette or rolls if desired.
1 cup butter, 2 tablespoons fresh chives
