Honey Nut Endive Appetizers Recipes

• Sprinkle the endive with pecans and chopped chives.

ENDIVE BITES WITH GORGONZOLA AND HONEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pine nuts on a small baking sheet and toast in the oven until very lightly browned and fragrant, 6 to 10 minutes. (Check the nuts frequently because they can quickly go from perfectly toasted to burnt!) Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
• Combine the gorgonzola and heavy cream in a small bowl and use a fork or small whisk to whip the mixture together until smooth. Smear a scant teaspoon of the gorgonzola mixture on the end of each endive leaf, then lightly drizzle with some of the honey. Sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts and pomegranate seeds and garnish with the mint leaves.

ELEGANT ENDIVES

Steps:

• Slice off the base of the endive and separate the endive leaves, carefully pulling them off at the base so they're intact.
• Lay the leaves on a large servign tray in a decorative pattern - such as concentric circles or diagonal rows.
• Fill the base of each leaf (the strongest and whitest part) with a heaping teaspoon of blue cheese crumbles. Sprinkle each with nuts and top with a drop or two of honey.
• Now slip into something fabulous.
