Instructions

1. Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees celcius.
2. Halve the fennel bulbs and cut out the stalk. Then cut the tuber halves into 1 cm thick slices. Cook in salted water for about 10 minutes.
3. In the meantime, oil a baking dish with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Strain the fennel and arrange it in the baking dish so that it overlaps. Put 4 tablespoons of breadcrumbs, 4 tablespoons of parmesan, 1 pinch of nutmeg, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix well. Spread evenly over the fennel and drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over it. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes until the surface is browned.
