Ingredients

1 whole garlic bulb1 tablespoon olive oil12 hard-boiled large eggs1/2 cup mayonnaise2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese1 teaspoon paprikaChopped fresh chives, optional

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°. Remove papery outer skin from garlic bulb, but do not peel or separate the cloves. Cut off top of garlic bulb, exposing individual cloves. Drizzle cut cloves with oil. Wrap in foil. Bake until cloves are soft and light golden, 50-60 minutes. Unwrap; cool completely.

Meanwhile, cut eggs lengthwise in half. Remove yolks to a bowl; reserve whites. Squeeze garlic from skins and add to yolks; mash yolks and garlic with a fork. Stir in mayonnaise, cheese and paprika.

Spoon or pipe filling into egg whites. If desired, sprinkle with chives. Refrigerate, covered, until serving.
