Witlof with Ham image

This is a great appetizer using Witlof, commonly known as Belgian endive, which is also popular in the Netherlands. This is basic to cook and very tasty.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 medium heads Belgian endive
4 (1/2 ounce) slices prosciutto
1 cup grated Gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium heat. When the grill is ready, lightly brush the grate with oil.
  • Place the endive in a shallow baking dish with 1/4 cup of water. Cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 2 minutes, or until slightly tender. Remove from dish, and pat dry.
  • Wrap each whole endive with prosciutto, and pierce with a toothpick to secure. Place each piece directly on grill and cook, turning occasionally, until ham is browned and endive is tender, approximately 3 minutes.
  • Place in a disposable foil baking dish, and sprinkle with the cheese. Return to the grill, cover, and continue cooking until cheese has melted.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think it would have been better with a lighter sauce.

The witlof was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think it would have been better if it had been cooked for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think it would have been better with less ham.

I would definitely make this recipe again, but I would make a few changes. I would use a different type of ham, and I would add some more vegetables to the dish.

I'm not usually a fan of witlof, but this recipe changed my mind! The combination of the sweet and bitter flavors was really nice, and the ham added a nice touch of saltiness.
