Ingredients:  
1 large head of garlic
1 tsp olive oil
1 cup butter (salted or unsalted depends on your preference), room temperature
4 tbsp finely chopped chives
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 325F.
Cut the top off the head of garlic, just so the cloves are exposed. Pour the olive oil over the cut head of garlic and wrap in tin foil.
Bake for 50-60 minutes. Let cool slightly, then extract cloves from the papery bulb (I use a cocktail fork).
Mash with a fork, discarding any hard bottom bits.
In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of the butter over low heat until it bubbles. Add chives and stir. Mix in mashed garlic and let cool to room temperature. (note: this step is optional, but I have found it helps the butter to keep better. If you skip this step, then just use the entire cup of butter in the next step.)
Combine the remaining butter and the chive/garlic mixture by either mashing together with a fork, or creaming with a mixer until well combined.

Use within a few days (covered and kept in the refrigerator), or roll into a log with cling wrap and freeze (another option: pipe equally sized pats of the butter onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid, then keep in a freezer bag until ready to use.
