Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

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.

Stage 3

Prepare the tart filling

Mix 2 eggs, 2 egg yolks, 150 ml liquid cream, 50 ml milk, salt and pepper.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Assemble the tart

Roll out the puff pastry and line the tin or mould. Spread out the slices of fried ham in the bottom...

Stage 5 - 5 min.

...then the endives.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Pour in the filling mixture and scatter 50 g grated cheese over the top.

Stage 7 - 35 min.

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.

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.
