Is the baked garlic with butter delicious?

You should have more imagination. It is a traditional dish in Southern France, and one of the easiest to realize : just put the cloves of a garlic head in a tinfoil with a spoon of olive oil, cook it at 150° C during an hour, and it is ready to be eaten with a piece of bread -- with or without butter --. It is very good, and I think it is even better for a celebrity, because garlic has the magic virtue to keep away of your breath troublesome peoples.

Ewww that sounds not only disgusting but loaded with calories, greasy and pungent. The trouble with garlic is that it has a lingering smell not only from your breath but it secretes out of your pores, it may keep the vampire away but it also keeps other people at distance. Garlic is healthy and does great things for the blood but not in the way it was prepared.

The only time that I enjoy butter and garlic is when it is slabbed on my bread for garlic bread and when it is mixed with fried rice. Yum!

Ive never ever had that. I know garlic can be good for us to eat. Let me know how you like it. I may try it soon.

I think yes, try to combine it with bread and parsley. With that you can fry them, it'll make a delicious garlic bread. Yummy, however, I don't think if you use only butter and garlic, it'll be as delicious. You have to combine it with something else like bread. Or if you'd like to make a soup, you can make creamy soup, with milk or melted cheese, butter and chicken stock and added some garlic as seasoning, it'll be very good.

yes, the tang of garlic mixes well with creamy taste of butter. Haven't you eaten garlic bread? ahhh you are missing a part of your eating life. LOL try it specially when it is still hot.. argggh such mouth watering...

Garlic has a unique but very strong smell.Some people like it.But whether people like it or not, many others have it because its medicinal properties are manifold. People who like the smell would relish baked garlic with butter .People who cannot even stand the smell of this herb would not tolerate it.

I love garlic, i find it very nice in flavor plus it do have health benefits. When i make baked clams i do put butter and garlic in it and then baked it and the result is amazing, you only have to mix the butter with chopped (finely) garlic and some pepper then put it on the insides of the clam and bake it. Sometiems we also make garlic bread, mix butter and garlic and pepper and some spices and even herbs put on top of a bread and then toast / bake it. yum!

I couldn't help but respond to this discussion about garlic and butter. I love the taste of garlic with butter on bread. Garlic is so delicious and I love it when it is included in a recipe -- with bread, pasta, rice and other meals. To add a bit of zing to olive oil and garlic pasta sauce, you can squeeze some lemon juice on it and grate some lemon zest on it. I just love this ultra simple and quick meal!

Garlic, how much ever seasoning you put into it still smells. So I am sure whether I can really enjoy its taste with only butter added to it.

It is the first time I know of such a dish.I like garlic very much no matter whether it is raw or cooked.However I am afraid the smell would put me off eating if mix it with butter.

I like garlic, it has many health benefits but as to flavor I think each person has a different idea about whether it is good or not.

Garlic and butter are delicious on bread. I really like the taste of garlic, and I like to put a lot of garlic in my food, especially in my meat. Sometimes I feel like I cook meat just so I have something to put garlic in. I'm going to have to check out this recipe you're writing about here. Eating only garlic with butter seems a bit much, even for a garlic lover like me.

I have never tried that before, I wonder what it would taste like. Fresh garlic isn't as strong as seasoning, or jared garlic. I think it would taste good, but would need more then garlic and butter.

Absolutely delicious..and really worth a try! Baking the Garlic renders the flavour LESS pungent..it becomes mild and almost with a slightly sweet taste, and the baking helps to reduce the odor. I grow tons of garlic, and there are hardly ways I don't use it..I even have a wonderful Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe that uses Garlic. It's a wonderful taste delight, and it's definitely worth a try!

I love garlic bread and so do my son and husband. The garlic bread is baked with garlic and butter. So as what you mentioned above, just the baked garlic with butter as dish, maybe can be eaten with plain bread, pasta, pizza or rice too! I don't mind trying, if good...it is healthy too... I hope. So, will you try?

It's the first time I heard about baked garlic but I'm still not even tasting that. I feel like I'm going to explode if I eat garlic. I agree with you about it's use for seasoning, that's what I do too.

Yes it is! It's like garlic with butter glazed on a toast ;) and viola, garlic bread! :)
