Endive and ham recipe
Endives or chicory were discovered in Brussels in 1830 during the Belgian revolution.
A resident of Brussels had hidden chicory plants in his cellar.
A few weeks later, leaves had grown: endive was born. On the other hand, we don't know who had the idea of preparing it as a gratin with ham.
? Recipe :
- 8 endives from the ground
- 8 slices of white ham
- 20 gr of butter
- 20 gr of flour
- 50 cl of milk
- 150 gr of grated Comté
