8 heads Belgian endive, trimmed
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 cup grated Gruyere cheese, divided
2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, or amount to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 slices deli-style ham
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1
Lightly grease a baking dish.
2
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Place the endives into the water. Cover, and cook until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
3
Place the butter into a saucepan, and melt over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and golden brown. Gradually whisk the milk into the flour mixture, whisking constantly until thick and smooth. Stir in 3/4 cup Gruyere cheese, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well blended. Cook gently over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
4
Preheat an oven broiler to low.
5
Drain the endives. Wrap each endive with a slice of ham, and place into the prepared baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the endives. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Gruyere cheese and parsley.
6
Cook the endives under preheated broiler until cheese is golden brown and sauce bubbles, about 10 minutes.
