Ingredients

  • 1 head garlic
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pinch ground cayenne pepper

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Trim off the top of the head of garlic to expose cloves. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle salt and black pepper on top. Wrap in aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until garlic feels soft when lightly pressed, about 1 hour. Unwrap and cool, 5 to 10 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Pull out individual garlic cloves with a sharp knife; place in a small bowl. Mash with a fork until creamy. Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne; mix well until blended.
  • Refrigerate until flavors combine, at least 1 hour.
