Advice

You can use single-portion mini-oven dishes, as suggested in our recipe, or a larger pan of about 20 cm in diameter. You can grease and sprinkle the bottom with breadcrumbs or, alternatively, line it with a sheet of parchment paper.

To make the preparation even richer and more delicious, you can also add a few slices of stringy cheese, such as scamorza or mozzarella, and then pass it in the oven to gratinate: the cheese, melting with the heat, will create an irresistible row and bottom effect. If you want a stronger taste, replace the Parmesan with pecorino.

For a vegan alternative, also suitable for intolerant people, you can replace milk with a vegetable drink of your choice (such as soy or almonds) and sprinkle the fennel with nutritional yeast in flakes instead of Parmesan.

storage

You can keep the fennel in milk for 2 days in the refrigerator, in a special airtight container; at the moment of consumption, heat them in the oven, with the grill on, for a few minutes.
