Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 1 m.-large fennel
  • Salt and pepper, freshly ground
  • 2 slice(s) ham, cooked (thin slices)
  • 4 slices of processed cheese
  • Fat for the mold

Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Wash the fennel bulb and remove the tough outer leaves. Trim the stem. Quarter the bulb lengthwise. Steam in a little salted water for about 10 minutes. Drain, sprinkle with pepper, and wrap each with half a slice of ham and a slice of cheese. Arrange in a circle in a greased gratin dish. Grill in the oven until golden brown. Variation: Instead of processed cheese, you can also use not-too-thin slices of buttered cheese. For a thick crust and even more cheesy flavor, drizzle Mornay sauce over the vegetables. To do this, make a thick béchamel sauce and season with plenty of grated cheese and nutmeg. Grill under the hot grill.
