1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400F.

2. 2

   Discard any coarse or wilted outer layers of the fennel roots and clean them under running water.

3. 3

4. 4

   Put the fennel into the boiling salted water and cook for about 20 minutes until just tender.

   Remove from the sauce pan to a chopping board and cut each fennel root lengthwise into 4 slices, using a sharp knife and a fork to secure the hot fennel as you cut it.

6. 6

   Melt half the butter in a shallow, fireproof dish.

7. 7

   Arrange the fennel slices in the dish, pour the milk over them, sprinkle thickly with the grated cheese and dot with the rest of the butter.
