  1. Trim the bases of the fennel bulbs and cut off the top stalks and fronds. Cut the bulbs lengthways through the base in thick slices 0.5-1cm thick. Wash the fennel slices, then steam or boil them until just cooked through.

  4. Pour the cream over the fennel and cover the dish with foil. Bake in a hot oven at 200°C/fan oven 180°C/mark 6 for 25-30 minutes, until the cream has thickened and absorbed the flavours.
  5. Mix together the Parmesan and breadcrumbs in a bowl.
  6. Remove the foil and sprinkle the gratin with the mixed cheese and breadcrumbs, then return to the oven to brown for 10 minutes.
