Assembling the gratin


Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F).

Butter a gratin dish and pour the endives + ham into the bottom.

Finish with the diced cheese.

Stage 12 - 30 min.

Remarks
You can also bake it in individual cassolettes rather than in a traditional oven dish.

When you prepare the béchamel sauce, you can add a little of the same cheese as in the recipe at the end of cooking, for an even more pronounced taste.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, protected by cling film.

This is a way of melting butter to eliminate all the impurities. The clarified butter can then be heated without spoiling, and is more digestible. It is ideal for cooking at high temperatures where small black specks would spoil the appearance, or for emulsified sauces like béarnaise or mousseline.
