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.
Ham and endives au gratin
Pour over 1 ½ cup bechamel sauce.

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.
