Instructions

  1. Roast: Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Cut most of the tough root from each endive, leaving just enough to keep the endive intact. Cut each in half lengthwise and arrange cut side down on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, rubbing to coat evenly. Roast for 30 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. Bechamel: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, whisking to combine, and cook for about a minute. While whisking, slowly pour in the milk. Once fully incorporated, increase heat to a gentle simmer until the sauce thickens. Stir in salt, cayenne, and half of the gruyere.
  3. Assembly: Into a large casserole dish, layer a third of the bechamel sauce, then tightly pack in the cooked endives. Top evenly with remaining bechamel and sprinkle with the cheeses.
  4. Broil: Set the oven to broil and place the pan on the middle rack. Broil, watching closely, until the cheese is melty and golden.
