# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 4 endives (about 1 lb/500g)

02 - 4 slices cooked ham

03 - 3/4 cup (200g) cooking cream

04 - 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese

05 - 1/3 cup (30g) grated cheese (such as Gouda)

06 - Salt

07 - Freshly ground black pepper

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) conventional heat. Remove the core from the endives. Place the endives in a pot of boiling, salted water and pre-cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, then drain well and pat dry.

02 - Wrap each endive in a slice of ham and arrange them in a baking dish.

03 - Mix the cooking cream and Parmesan cheese, then season with salt and pepper.

04 - Pour the sauce over the wrapped endives. Sprinkle with the grated cheese and bake for 20 minutes until golden and bubbly.

# Notes:

01 - Baked endive is a simple yet sophisticated dish that loses its bitterness thanks to the creamy sauce and cheese.

02 - Pre-cooking the endives is important to ensure they become nice and soft in the oven and to reduce their bitter compounds.
