I was trying to think of an easy appetizer to go with dinner this week and this came to mind. It’s such a simple recipe that can be thrown together in minutes and has intense delicious flavor. I love the combination of blue cheese and apple, which is such a classic pairing. I usually do this with a crostini, but didn’t want to bother with slicing and browning bread, so substituted endive instead. I love the crunch the endive added to the dish, and it cut out a lot of calories and prep time.Endive with Apple & Honey
2 Endives
4 Ounces Blue Cheese (I used a really pungent gorgonzola)
1 Sweet Red Apple, cut into thin slices
Honey
Trim ends off the endive and separate the leaves. Fill each leaf with a little blue cheese, and then press the apple slice into the blue cheese to hold it in place. Drizzle with a little honey, and serve.
Ok, that looks so yummy...were they a big hit? We're back from Paris this weekend...would like to see you soon.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a very simple but elegant appetizer. When I first started eating pungent cheeses, I had to add raisins or honey because I wasn't used to the strong taste. Now I do it because I like the sweet, salty and pungent all together.
