Introduction

This is an easy winter appetizer, especially good served alongside thin slices of crisp apple.

Ingredients

2 large heads Belgian endive
¼ lb. Blue Castello or other creamy blue cheese
¼ cup toasted walnuts, finely chopped
~ Freshly ground black pepper
1 tart, crisp apple, cored and cut into thin slices

Steps

  1. Slice the bottom ½ inch from the root end of each endive head and separate the leaves. With a knife, spread about a tablespoon of blue cheese on the cut end of each leaf.
  2. Sprinkle toasted walnuts onto the blue cheese, then grind a bit of fresh black pepper over the top.
  3. Arrange on a large plate, tucking apple slices between the endive leaves, and serve.
