Baked Fennel with Parmesan Cheese

Ingredients

• 2 lbs fennel bulbs (3-4 bulbs)
• 4 tbsp butter
• 1/3 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the fennel bulb halves in a medium - large stock pot of boiling water for 10 - 15 minutes. You want the fennel to be soft but not mushy. Remove the fennel from the water to a cutting board to allow to cool.

2. 2

   Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Butter an 8 x 11 baking dish and set aside.

3. 3

   Once the fennel is cool enough to handle, cut each of the bulbs lengthwise into 4 – 6 pieces and place them in the prepared baking dish.

4. 4

   Dot the fennel pieces with the butter and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.

5. 5

   Place in the preheated oven and bake until the cheese is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve immediately.

   Enjoy!
