Endives with ham\u2026 you either love them or you don\u2019t! Personally, I\u2019m a fan! Especially because for adults, you can make a slightly braised, caramelized version\u2026 Yum!<\/p>\n
Endives with ham, sometimes called \u201cchicons\u201d in Belgium, are a delicious specialty from Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Belgium, and the Netherlands. It\u2019s a wonderfully comforting dish where Belgian endives are carefully wrapped in slices of ham to create a flavorful gratin.<\/p>\n
But here, we\u2019re going to adapt the recipe a little so it can be served to the littlest eaters \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
So I decided to introduce endives<\/a> to my baby, and what better way than with the classic ham<\/a> and endive recipe? A pur\u00e9e version, with the ham blended on the side and a little Gruy\u00e8re or swiss cheese<\/a>: perfect! (My daughter loved it!)<\/p>\n Endive is rich in fiber and vitamins. Here, we\u2019ll prepare it with a potato<\/a> to soften its slightly bitter taste, even though there\u2019s another little trick for that too\u2014we\u2019ll get to it later\u2026<\/p>\n We\u2019ll also mellow it out with a little cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche, and to finish, the cheese: a touch of grated Gruy\u00e8re!<\/p>\n Ready? Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need to make this ham, endive, and Gruy\u00e8re pur\u00e9e recipe for baby (from 6 months; I got about 12.7 oz \/ 360 g with these quantities, or 2 small 6.3 oz \/ 180 g jars):<\/p>\nIngredients<\/h2>\n
