Prepare the crepes and let them cool. In the meantime, wash and cut the radicchio into very small pieces. Add the oil to a sauté pan and heat.

Once hot, add the radicchio, salt, pepper, garlic and a little bit of white wine. Sauté for a couple of minutes. Then prepare a fairly liquid béchamel with the milk, broth, flour and butter. Then add the egg yolks, cheese and sautéed radicchio.

Then layer the crepes and radicchio sauce in a baking dish, beginning, of course, with a crepe.

Bake in a 425°F oven for 15 minutes.
