This has overkill in every step. DYO bread crumbs! Fennel pollen and cave-aged gruyere (not even "preferably cave-aged.") Not like you, NY Times Cooking. I'm not looking for recipes calling for canned cream of mushroom soup, but isn't this a little ridiculous? There's a nice recipe on Epicurious for baked fennel with goat cheese, shallots and rosemary.

Though "artisanal" is a rather subjective, to me it implies a chewy, glutin-y bread, not the sort of white-bread puffy fluffy that generates flaky Panko crumbs. So then the resultant bread crumbs would have more heft and substance. And flavor, which Panko lacks.

Could you not save a step and use Panko bread crumbs?

How hard is fennel pollen to come by? Anyone seen it in their local supermarket? Seems like it would be tricky to track down but I don't really know.

Fennel pollen is available on AmazonIt is a special flavorItalians love it

Overcomplicated and wildly over-fussy. It is indeed delicious, but this is a weekend project not to be undertaken lightly (which seems excessive for a side-dish)

I agree that this recipe seems a little overkill and silly. I did make Nigella Lawson' fennel gratin yesterday that I came across online - after trying to find the one from Jamie Oliver's new cookbook. It had similar elements, but was much more straight forward - and completely... insanely delicious!

JakeI keep fennel pollen in my pantry at all times and use it frequently. I order mine from Martha Hall Foods. It is a wonderful herb to have for so many things.

you buy the fennel pollen on line, through Amazon or elsewhere. If you live in an area where fennel grows wild, pick the flowers when they bloom and dry them.You use fennel pollen, as they do in Tuscany, in pork roasts and pork chops

Believe the amount of hours. Very laborious. Not sure the juice is worth the squeeze.

This is the most amazing dish! It is a staple in our home now and although it is a alot of work in preparation, it pays off! It is a labor of love but well worth the time! I double it so i have 2 casseroles and it keeps for a week or more in the fridge. The recipe is perfect!!

Use toasted fennel seeds and breadcrumbs take 2 mins to make in a food processor !! Chunky ones are way better than Pablo for this recipe

Next time I would stir in the chopped fennel fronds just before adding the breadcrumbs. The moisture in the fennel fronds took away some of the crispness of the breadcrumbs.

I have not seen it outside of Italy, although admittedly that is just from looking in shops; not from looking online. I feel like with an unusual ingredient like that, it should be addressed in the recipe.

I bought some at a Savory Spice Shop. They have franchises around the country.

I bought fennel pollen on Amazon; there are several choices.
