Step 1

For the Fennel

Step 2

Remove the feathery leaves and tough stalks from the fennel. Wash the bulbs and cut each into quarters. (Save the leaves and stalks for making broth).

Step 3

Fill a large pot with water, add 1 tablespoon salt, and bring to a boil. Add the fennel, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until a knife can easily be inserted into the fennel. Drain in a colander.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

Step 5

In a one quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour, whisking to form a smooth paste, and cook for about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook, whisking until the sauce begins to thicken. Remove from the heat.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of the sauce in a 12 x 8-inch casserole dish. Add the fennel, cut sides down, in a single layer. Pour the remaining sauce over the fennel.

Step 7

Sprinkle the flavored bread crumbs evenly over the top of the fennel.

Step 8

Bake, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the sauce and cheese are lightly browned. Serve immediately.

Step 9

Tip: Fennel bulbs often have rust spots on their outer surface. Instead of cutting off and throwing those pieces away, use a vegetable peeler to shave off a thin layer of the outer bulb. This saves wasting the entire piece. And never throw away the feathery fronds, they are useful to flavor soups, rubbed onto meats and sprinkled over deviled eggs.

Step 10

For the Flavored Bread Crumbs

Step 11

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and let it get soft; then add the breadcrumbs, herbs, pepper, and salt. Cook until the crumbs smell toasty, about 5 minutes.

Step 12

Remove from heat toss the crumbs and cheese together in a large mixing bowl; let mixture cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or a cool, dry place. Use within two weeks.
