[@beatricemantu492]

I like very much your recipes. Today I cooked andives following your recipe. In Bechamel I added little Camembert cheese, 3 spoons of soured cream, garlic powder, Cajun powder and plenty of nutmeg.On the slice of smoked bacon I put some grated parmesan mixed with pepper and little salt. Thanks a lot for your recipe 💖You are a brilliant chef💖💖💖

I don't eat ham but the end result looks delicious. Never heard of endive and was curious on how to cook it. Now that I know, I'll have to create a recipe that works for me.

I also don't eat ham, but i will try it with smoked salmon. 😊

It really is a Flemish dish from the North of Belgium. Nutmeg is traditionally used on witloof/endive, whether in this dish or just fried up in the pan. Many dinertable battles have been fought over those cheesy crusts. You may want to try raw endive finely chopped with mayonnaise mixed with a hardboiled egg.

Oh that raw endive sounds great! I had the same battles with my sister growing up! hahaha

[@Ravencroft81]

@@PistouandPastis My dad introduced me to the finely chopped raw endive and boiled egg with mayo. I was sceptical at first but it works nicely as a snack or side dish.
