    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Rub a medium-sized casserole dish or ovenproof pan with a garlic clove that has been sliced in half and grease the dish generously with butter. Prepare your ingredients by frying bacon until crispy, peeling and finely slicing the onion, finely slicing fennel bulbs and grating mature white Cheddar. Layer half of the onion and fennel bulb in the roasting dish, sprinkle over half of the cheese and the chicken stock powder. Add the remaining onion and fennel bulb, top with the remaining cheese and sprinkle the crispy bacon over. Pour over fresh cream and milk before placing in the oven to cook, about 30 minutes, or until the onion and fennel is soft. Serve warm.
