Witloof gegratineerd · Antwerp
Belgian endive wrapped in ham, baked in béchamel and gratinated under cheese. The canonical Antwerp winter gratin.
Witloof, the Belgian endive, was developed in 19th-century Brussels and became a winter-vegetable signature across the Low Countries. The gratin pairs it with sliced ham and a thick béchamel under grilled cheese. Every Belgian household has a version; Antwerp kitchens hold to a sharp Gouda or Vieux Bruges for the topping.
