Sfincione Bagharese (BBB)

 


 

The Kitchen of the Month for February was Aparna, of My Diverse Kitchen.  We all baked sfincione bagharese, a type of Sicilian focaccia topped with sautéed onions and a variety of cheeses (I used mozzarella and a parmesan/romano cheese blend), then finished with a topping of bread crumbs mixed with pepper flakes, oregano, and finely chopped scallions.  My favorite part was the actual bread crust and the gooey, cheesy onion topping.   


 

The bread crumbs, however, were a different story.  They were unruly, constantly jumping off and causing a crisis of crumbs on surrounding surfaces.  I eventually scraped them all off and put them in the freezer for a future use.  I froze some pre-cut pieces, and once reheated, that gooey goodness was front and center.  I think you could add different toppings and have a delightful meal or snack.

For the recipe and background, go to Aparna’s website.  If you want to join in as a Buddy, send your story and photos to Aparna by the end of the month.

Looks beautiful! I think it's funny that we all raved about the bread crumbs and you preferred everything underneath! My kids tend to not like recipes that have a crumb topping, or at least not very much!

Your sfincione looks beautiful! And. It's wrong to laugh at your unruly breadcrumbs, isn't it?

We loved the contrast between the gooey wonders underneath and the crispy breadcrumbs. I don't know why our breadcrumbs didn't jump off onto the table though. But watch, now that I know this can happen, it will the next time we make sfincione.

Funny about the breadcrumbs! They took on a life of their own!
