Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut 1/2 inch off top end (opposite root end) of
each garlic head, exposing top of garlic cloves. Remove any loose papery
outer skin. Place garlic cut side up in small glass baking dish. Drizzle

Turn garlic cut side down. Roast uncovered until tender, about 30 minutes.

refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.)

Cook escarole in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about
4 minutes. Drain well. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large
skillet over medium heat. Add 1 minced garlic clove; saute until heated
through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Spread roasted garlic puree on bread slices. Using tongs, place escarole
atop garlic. Serve with lemon wedges.
