Preheat oven to 200C/ Fan
180C/ gas 6.
-
Put a little butter in a
non-stick frying pan and almost dry fry the sliced endive
until they start to take on colour. Place the endive in a
buttered dish. Put the cubed brioche pieces on top.
-
Now make the cheese sauce:
melt the butter, add the flour, turn down the heat, grab a
whisk and start adding the milk gradually, whisking all
the time. You can substitute some of the milk with cream,
if you wish. Add a tsp of Dijon mustard, then take the
sauce off the heat and add the cheese. Whisk it in and add
some pepper.
-
Sprinkle the thyme leaves over
the endives, then pour the creamy sauce over the endive
and brioche mixture. Add some small chunks of St Agur to
the dish.
-
Put in the oven for 20 mins
until golden brown.
