    Wash the fennel and trim the ends, cut them in half, then into quarters, and rinse them under running water.

    When the water boils, add the fennel and cook for about 3 minutes: they should only soften slightly.

    Meanwhile, put the milk and gorgonzola in a bowl and mix with a fork to blend them and create a cream.

    After draining the fennel, place them in a baking dish and pour over the cream of milk and gorgonzola, then bake at 374°F for 18 minutes.

    In the air fryer, 13 minutes at 338°F will suffice.
