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.

2	Using the same pan, pour in 2 tablespoons olive oil and fry 4 slices smoked ham on both sides. Set aside.	3 min.
3	Prepare the tart filling Mix 2 eggs, 2 egg yolks, 150 ml liquid cream, 50 ml milk, salt and pepper.
4	Assemble the tart Roll out the puff pastry and line the tin or mould. Spread out the slices of fried ham in the bottom...	3 min.
5	...then the endives.	5 min.
6	Pour in the filling mixture and scatter 50 g grated cheese over the top.	2 min.
7	Cook the tart 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. Eat warm or cold with a good green salad and french dressing (vinaigrette), for example.	35 min.

Remarks

If you would prefer a slightly milder flavour, you can blanch the endives.

On the other hand, if you would prefer a stronger flavour, fry the endives and add 2 tablespoonsful of vinegar at the end.
