Endives can be enjoyed in a variety of ways including salads, steamed, or even baked in dishes like gratins. Here, I present a foolproof recipe for cheese-topped endive gratin that’s perfect for a family dinner. This comforting dish turns the slightly bitter vegetables into a delightful meal, combining the sweetness of braised endives with the richness of ham and cheese.<\/p>\n
– Endives: 4
\n– Shallot: 1
\n– Ham strips: 150g
\n– Grated Gruy\u00e8re cheese: 100g
\n– Heavy cream: 200ml
\n– Salt: to taste
\n– Pepper: to taste
\n– Cooking fat: 2 tablespoons<\/p>\n
1. Chop the endive leaves into pieces. Thinly slice the shallot.<\/p>\n
2. In a skillet, heat the cooking fat and saut\u00e9 the shallot. Add the chopped endives. Mix well, season with salt and pepper, cover, and allow to cook gently for 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
3. Remove from heat and let it drain thoroughly (about 1 hour).<\/p>\n
4. Transfer the drained endives to a baking dish. Stir in the ham strips.<\/p>\n
5. Sprinkle over the grated Gruy\u00e8re cheese and pour the heavy cream evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 410\u00b0F (thermostat 7) for 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.<\/p>\n
Enjoy hot, straight from the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n
