    Trim off the ends of the endives. Cut each crosswise into thin slices. There should be about 4 cups.

  3. Step 3

    Heat the butter in a skillet and add the leeks. Cook, stirring often, about 2 minutes without browning.

  4. Step 4

    Add the endives and sprinkle with lemon juice. Add salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, about 1 minute. Cover closely and cook 5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Add the cream and nutmeg and stir. Serve piping hot.
