Report
Gently soften endives in a wine water boil and then enrobe them into a slice of ham, covered with a delightful white cream, with lots of cheese.
Share:
Ingredients
- 6 large endive all the same size and light outer leaves
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 cup water
- 6 slices of ham
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup gruyere cheese shredded
WHITE SAUCE
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ cup whole milk
- ¾ cup endive water with wine
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 6 grinds nutmeg or 1/8 of a teaspoon dry
Instructions
- Remove the hard end of the endives, making sure they stay intact. Remove any dark or damaged ends.
- Place water and wine in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the endives, salt and bring back to a boil. Lower the heat, cover and cook for about 10 minutes.
FOR THE SAUCE
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Stir in the flour and mix well. Add the milk and the wine water, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Bring to a boil, stirring with a whisk until the sauce is smooth and bubbling. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes.
ASSEMBLY & COOKING
- Remove the endives from the water wine boil, save the liquid. Drain the endives and roll the ham around each.
- Preheat the oven at 375F.
- Butter a gratin dish and place each ham-wrapped endive in the dish. Spread the sauce over the endives. Scatter the Gruyere cheese.
- Place in the hot oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the top is nicely browned.
Notes
- Chef Tips:
- Squeeze all the juices out of your endives. Endives hold water; you do not want excess liquid when combined with your cream.
- I added cooking wine and water to create the sauce with this recipe. The richness of the wine adds a new layer of flavor, or as I like to call it, deliciousness. Please do not skip this step, as you will regret it. The difference that it makes is incredible.
- As every oven is different and altitude has a lot to do with oven baking, make sure that it is bubbling and browning gently.
