Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 15 min.

Prepare and slice 333 ml endives (head of chicory).

Set aside.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Cut 83 ml ham into small pieces.

Set aside.

Note: I'm using ham heel here, but slices will work just as well.

Stage 3 - 3 min.

Cut 83 ml smoked cheese (here raclette cheese) into small pieces.

Set aside.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Slice ¹⁄₃ shallot.

Stage 5 - 5 min.

In a large frying pan or saucepan over high heat, melt 18 ml semi-salted butter and when it has melted and begun to brown slightly (it's a beurre noisette) add the chopped shallot and cook for 1 minute, stirring.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Add the endives and mix well.

Cook for approx. 3-5 minutes, until just tender.

Stage 7 - 1 min.

Add the ham and mix well.

Stage 8 - 1 min.

Add the chopped parsley and 0 lemon juice.

Mix one last time, check the seasoning and remove from the heat.

Stage 9 - 3 min.

Assembling the gratin

Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F).

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

Stage 10 - 2 min.

Pour over 117 ml Bechamel sauce.

Stage 11 - 2 min.

Finish with the diced cheese.

Stage 12 - 30 min.

Bake for about 50 minutes at 180°C (360°F).

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.
