Stage 1 - 10 min.
Thin endive tart : Stage 1

Prepare the fried endives and ham


Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C).

Prepare 750 g endives (head of chicory), but leave raw, rather than blanching.

Pour 3 tablespoons olive oil into a frying pan on medium heat. When hot, fry the endive halves for a few minutes on each side until nicely browned.

Set aside.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Using the same pan, pour in 2 tablespoons olive oil and fry 4 slices smoked ham on both sides.

Set aside.

Bake low in the oven (to make sure the bottom of the tart cooks properly) until the top is browned - about 30 minutes or so.
