Preparation Method :

Trim the chicory, remove any bruised or damaged outer leaves, and cut out a cone-shaped piece from the base of each to prevent a bitter taste.
Arrange the heads at the edges like a wheel in a deep dish. Coat with the water and lemon juice. Cover with clingfilm (plastic wrap) and slit it twice to allow steam to escape.
Cook on Full for 15 minutes, turning the dish twice. Allow to stand for 5 minutes, then drain thoroughly.
Wash and dry the dish. When the chicory is lukewarm, wrap a ham slice round each and return to the dish. Place the milk in a jug and heat, uncovered, on Full for 5 minutes.
Put butter or margarine into a dish and melt on Full for 1 - 2 minutes. Stir in the flour, then gradually whisk in the hot milk.
Cook, uncovered, on Full for 5 minutes, whisking every minute to ensure smoothness, until the sauce is bubbly and thickened.
Mix in the cheese and season to taste. Pour evenly over the chicory and ham. Cover with a plate and reheat on Full for 3 minutes.
Allow to stand for 5 minutes, then serve with chips.
