I saw this on Andrew Zimmern’s show and wanted to give it a try. A vegetable side dish! There is ham and cheese, so I’m not going crazy. The endive brings some bitterness; salty ham, and the creamy cheese sauce ties everything together. This dish dates back three hundred years, but I made it fresh. I hope you like it.
4 heads endive, top and bottom trimmed and bad leaves removed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 slices prosciutto
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup Gruyère cheese
French fried onions
Heat oven to 350.
Remove the bottom and top of endive. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
In a sauce pan on medium add butter and flour.
Cook for 4 minutes whisking all the while. Add nutmeg and stir.
Add milk and stir.
Add Gruyère and stir. Cook for 5 minutes.
Wrap endive in prosciutto, add to baking dish, cover in cheese sauce. Place in oven for 25 minutes.
Remove from oven and top with French fried onions.
Serve.

This was typically something my mother used to prepare on a Sunday. I wasn’t keen on the bitterness of the endive but loved the béchamel sauce she used with the cheese. She didn’t top the dish with onions. Thanks for bringing back memories!
