Roasted Garlic with Goat Cheese

== Description ==
* Serves 8 or more
== Ingredients ==
* ¾ cup crème fraîche
* 16 – 20 whole heads of garlic
* ½ cup butter
* pepper to taste
* 1 cup dry white wine
* ½ cup vegetable stock
* ½ kilo semi-hard goat cheese
* 6 spring onions, trimmed and chopped finely
* 16 – 20 slices country-style bread
* olive oil (optional)
== Directions ==
# With the point of a knife make an incision in each garlic bulb about 4 cm from the top.
# Remove the first layer of skin from the tops so that the points of the cloves are showing.
# Grease a baking dish and arrange the bulbs in the dish.
# Dot the bulbs with the butter, using ½ tbsp of butter for each bulb.
# Sprinkle with pepper.
# Pour the wine and stock into the baking dish, cover with aluminum foil and bake in an oven that has been preheated to 180°C for 45 minutes.
# Remove the foil and bake for 15 minutes longer.
# The cloves will be done when some of the garlic comes off on the tip of a sharp knife that is inserted into the cloves.
# Remove from the oven.
# Place all but 3 tbsp of the crème fraîche in a bowl and to this add the cheese, mashing together with a fork.
# Add the remaining crème fraîche if necessary and continue beating with a fork until the mixture has the texture of a thick puree.
# Add the chopped spring onions and mix well.
# To serve, place 1 slice of bread and 1 garlic bulb on each plate, and place the remaining garlic on a serving plate in the center of the table.
# Pass the cheese mixture separately.
# Guests should spread the cheese on the bread; then, using a fork, they should press the garlic flesh out of each clove and spread it on top.
# The garlic may then be sprinkled with olive oil if desired.
# Serve with dry red wine as an appetizer.
