Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound celery (8 to 10 large stalks), peeled and thinly sliced crosswise (about 4 cups)
3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 slices white sandwich bread
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, mix celery, 1/2 cup Parmesan, cream, 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper. Divide evenly among four 6-ounce ramekins, packing mixture in firmly. Place ramekins on baking sheet, and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake until celery is tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, tear bread into large pieces, and pulse in food processor until coarse crumbs form. Add remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan, and drizzle with olive oil; pulse just until crumbs are coated with oil, 4 to 6 times.
  • Remove aluminum foil from ramekins. Dividing evenly, sprinkle breadcrumb mixture over celery. Return to oven and bake, uncovered, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes more. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
