Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons curry powder (preferably Madras)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 baguette
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 lb extra-sharp Cheddar
  • 1/4 cup very thinly sliced fennel bulb (sometimes called anise; quartered lengthwise and cored before slicing)

Instructions

  1. Cook shallot and curry powder in oil in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring, 2 minutes, then transfer to a small bowl and stir in mayonnaise and lemon juice. Wipe skillet clean and set aside.

Cut cheese into thin slices no wider than bread slices. Divide cheese among 8 slices of bread, then top with fennel and remaining slices of bread, buttered sides up.
