I don't know what simmering in milk does but this is fabulous! My whole family loved this. I put it in a 3qt bowl baking dish to bake but next time will use my 9x13" pan to spread out those breadcrumbs more. Thanks for a new veggie dish! ETA: 3/7/08 This has become my family's favorite way of having fennel. Thank you!!
