Fennel and Celery Root Casserole

Fennel and Celery Root Casserole

A wonderful casserole of root vegetables, apple, and cheese served to me by my mom during my last visit. I took the basic recipe and added a few touches of my own. Try different types of cheese for the topping.

Ingredients

  • 1 large fennel bulb, trimmed and sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 large celery root, trimmed and sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 small sweet onion, such as Vidalia or Walla Walla, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 1 pint heavy whipping cream
  • shredded aged Colby or Cheddar Cheese

Directions

Step 1
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2
Bring a large steamer pot of water to a boil. Place fennel, celery root, and onion slices in the steamer insert. Steam until tender, approximately 7 to 10 minutes.

Step 3
Spread the steamed vegetables and apple slices evenly in the bottom of an 8 x 8-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour cream around the sides of the dish until the liquid reaches half-way to the top. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, and cover tightly with foil.

Step 4
Bake in preheated oven until hot and bubbly and cheese has melted, approximately 40 minutes.
