👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Trim the ends of the endives and remove any tough outer leaves. You can optionally core them to remove the bitter pith.

Steam or boil the endives for about 10-15 minutes until slightly tender. Drain very well and gently press out excess water.
- 3
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a baking dish.

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. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened. Season with salt, white pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
- 5
Wrap each cooked endive in a slice of ham. Arrange the ham-wrapped endives in the prepared baking dish.
- 6
Pour the béchamel sauce evenly over the endives. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top.
- 7
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown and melted.
- 8
Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
