Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 2
Make the béchamel sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the warm milk until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
⏱️ 8 minutes - 3
Stir in half of the grated Gruyère cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Assemble the rolls: Lay out the endive leaves. Place a slice of ham on each leaf, then spoon a tablespoon of the béchamel sauce onto the ham. Roll up tightly.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 5
Arrange the rolled endives in the prepared baking dish. Pour any remaining béchamel sauce over the rolls and sprinkle with the remaining Gruyère cheese.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 6
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
