Blue Cheese Baked Fennel

• 2 fennel bulbs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 7 ounces mild blue cheese (e.g. Cambozola, Grinzola, Dolcelatte, Gorgonzola)
• 4 tablespoons mixed seeds, such as pumpkin, sesame, sunflower or 4 tablespoons linseeds

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350u0b0F.
2. Trim the green tops of the fennel bulbs and cut the bulbs in half.
3. Use a little of the oil to grease a baking dish. Arrange the bulbs in the dish, with the flat sides uppermost.
4. Use a pastry brush (or clean fingers!) to "baste" the fennel with the remaining oil. This will stop it from burning during roasting.
5. Mix the seeds together and grind well.
6. Crumble the cheese and mix with the seeds. It will form a kind of paste.
7. Smooth 1/4 of the paste on top of each fennel half.
8. Roast for 30 minutes, until the fennel has softened and the topping is starting to go brown.
