gruyère cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while still melting well.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: Pecorino Romano

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Trim the bases of the endives and cut them in half lengthwise.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and add endives, cooking until slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the endives and set aside; add flour to the skillet and whisk for 1-2 minutes until golden.

Gradually add milk, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

Stir in nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Layer the endives and ham in a baking dish, pouring the sauce over them.

Sprinkle grated cheese on top.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, about 25-30 minutes.
