Chicory gratin

PreparationCut off approx. 5 mm of the chicory
stalk and remove the hard, bitter part.
Melt the butter in the frying pan. Fry the
chicory until golden, then reduce the
temperature and cook for a further 25
minutes at a low heat. Season with
sugar, salt and pepper.
Wrap each chicory head in a slice of
cooked ham and lay them side by side
in the gratin dish.
For the cheese sauce, melt the butter in
a pan. Stir in the flour and brown gently.
Now add the milk, stirring vigorously,
bring to the boil and add half of the
cheese, egg yolk, nutmeg, salt, pepper
and lemon juice.
Pour the cheese sauce over the
chicory, scatter with the remaining
cheese and bake until golden.
