To Roast Garlic:

At the top of the bulb, flatten it by making a straight cut into the top of the cloves about a half of an inch. Toss the bulb with Extra Virgin Olive oil just to coat. Wrap in aluminum foil and bake for 35-50 minutes or until the garlic cloves are fork tender. Reserve for dressing.
To Prepare:
- In a food processor or blender mix the egg yolks, mustard, roasted garlic cloves and anchovies
- Slowly drizzle in the canola oil and then slowly add the balsamic vinegar
- Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil
- Finish with the lemon juice, cheese (optional), Tabasco (optional), and Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper
