  ~Place whole heads of garlic in a heavy saucepan with olive or cooking oil.
  Cook and stir over medium heat for 5 minutes. Cover and reduce heat to
  medium-low for 15 minutes or till garlic is soft. Remove heads of garlic
  from oil; drain on paper towels; cool. ~ To assemble Brie, carefully slice
  the thin rind off one of the flat sides of the Brie wheel(s). Place on a
  baking sheet, cut side up. Divide heads of garlic into cloves and peel.
  With a small, sharp knife, slice cloves diagonally, being careful not to
  completely sever each slice. Gently press garlic cloves into fans. Arrange
  garlic fans and olives atop Brie wheel(s)* ~ Bake uncovered, in a 400F oven
  for 10 to 12 minutes or till Brie is warm and slightly softened. Sprinkle
  warm Brie with parsley. Carefully transfer to a plate and serve with apple
  wedges or bread. Makes 16 servings. * To make ahead: At this point, you can
  wrap the Brie whell(s) in plastic wrap and chill for up to 3 days. Before
  serving, heat through as directed.
