Baked chicory with ham

Method

1. Heat the oven to 170°C fan/gas 5. Melt the butter in a casserole, add the chicory and cook over a medium heat for 5-6 minutes until lightly browned on all sides. Add a splash of water, the lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper, then cover with a lid or foil. Bake for 15 minutes or until the chicory is tender. Leave until cool enough to handle.
2. Cut each slice of ham in half lengthways, then wrap each chicory in a piece. Return them to the casserole. Combine the cream, nutmeg and gruyère, then pour over the chicory. Scatter over the parmesan and breadcrumbs, then bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbling and golden.
