An easy antipasto which takes little time to prepare and is adapted from The Silver Spoon ( Il cucchiaio d'argento) cookbook. I love this cookbook and with over 2,000 recipes it has to be the largest compilation of Italian cuisine in one book.Serves 4
3 Italian sausages, casings removed
150g Taleggio or Robiola cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
Italian bread, sliced
Preheat the oven to 180c (350f). In a bowl, mix the sausage and cheese together and then add the fennel. Spread the mixture onto the bread slices. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
The Culinary Chase's Note: I used minted lamb for the sausage which was nice but then tried it again with the Italian sausage and found that to taste much better. I love the way fennel adds a bit of a licorice flavor to the crostini.

Ciao.
wow this looks too delicious and way too easy to make! i want to run to the store now and make it but alas it's 10pm lol - not that it would have stopped me if i didn't have a husband already in bed and would be shocked to find me missing lol.
This reminds me of one that your Mom used to make. I think it's the fennel that always makes it taste so unique.
Thanks Ian, Orchidea, Karen & Heather! These are quite delicious 7 they don't last long once brought to the table. Heather, you're probably right........Mom used to make so many yummy snacks! Fennel wasn't a favorite of mine & only in the past few years have I begun to enjoy the flavor it adds to recipes.
