Belgian Chicons Au Gratin (Endives Au Gratin) image

These taste wonderful with mashed potatoes. (To make mashed potatoes the Belgian way, you also put some nutmeg in with the salt and pepper) I hope you will enjoy these as much as I do. Endives are a little bitter, but cooked they are sometimes a mixture of bitter and sweet.

I thought the endives were a bit bland, but the sauce and cheese made up for it.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste, but otherwise this dish was very good.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The combination of the sweet endives, creamy sauce, and crispy cheese was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.
