Ingredients

• 4 large fennel bulbs
• 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1/4 cup fine, dry crumbs
• 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. butter or margarine

Directions

1. Trim bases from fennel bulbs; cut into eighths, reserving fronds for another use. Arrange fennel in a lightly greased 11 × 7-inch baking dish.
2. Whisk together whipping cream and next 3 ingredients, and pour over fennel slices. Sprinkle fennel slices with breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese; dot with butter.
3. Bake, covered at 325 degrees for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake 20 more minutes or until fennel is tender and yields when a knife is inserted into the thickest slices. Serve immediately.
