Ingredients

  • 2 Chicory cut into wedges
  • 250 ml White Wine
  • 75 g Gruyère grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic crushed
  • 200 ml Double Cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 200°C. Put the chicory wedges in an over safe casserole dish with a lid. Add the wine and bring to a boil over a medium high heat with the lid on. Once it's boiling turn the heat down and simmer for 15 minutes then remove from the heat.
  • While the chicory cooks mix the cream with the garlic, grated cheese, mustard and plenty of salt and pepper. Whisk until fully mixed.
  • Make sure the chicory is in a single layer then pour over the cream mixture and press down slightly to submerge. Put in the oven and bake for 45 minutes to an hour until browned and bubbling.
