Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Wrap garlic in aluminum foil and roast for 1 hour. Unwrap garlic. When it is cool enough to handle, peel away as much of the outer papery layers of skin as possible. Use a sharp knife to cut the entire head in half, crosswise (across the middle). Hold each half over the work bowl of a food processor and squeeze out as much garlic as possible. Add cheese and pepper, and puree. Serve with crisp crackers such as melba toast or Rye-Krisp.
