Endive and Bacon Gratin

This classic, creamy gratin can hang out in your oven at low temperature while you tend to other dishes. Braised endives are coated in a luxurious béchamel—with a healthy dose of shredded Emmental—then baked until crisped and slightly browned. Garnish with bacon and chives, and watch how quickly your guests are gratified by this easier-than-easy gratin beauty.
