At a party a few years ago, I ate a fantastic fennel casserole. It was creamy with a top that had a bit of crisp (cheese maybe?) and tomatoes halved, which roasted beautifully. Does this ring a bell with anyone and would you have a recipe to recreate it?

I don't particularly remember the tomato being diced. My friend's mom used heirloom tomatoes that she had cut in half, scooped out the seeds and sliced. Of course this will be even better come next summer!

From your description, it seems like what you had could be called a fennel gratin with tomatoes. If you can still get a decent tomato, you may be good to go. You could just change a couple of things in the recipe to suit your memory of the dish.
