Drain the bell peppers and cut into wide strips.
Trim tomatoes, rinse, cut in half and cut into slices.
Lightly coat 2 small oven-proof dishes with oil. Distribute bell peppers and tomatoes in dishes. Add salt and pepper.
Cut the feta cheese into slices or break into pieces and sprinkle on bell peppers and tomatoes.
Squeeze lemon. In a small bowl, mix honey, remaining olive oil, lemon juice and fennel seed. Pour over the cheese and season generously with pepper.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top. Place the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake feta cheese at 200°C (fan oven 180°C, gas mark 3) (approximately 400°F/convection 350°F) until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
