Delight in these elegant endive boats, a refined appetizer that showcases the perfect marriage of creamy goat cheese and crunchy walnuts, drizzled with a hint of honey and fresh thyme. This dish not only tantalizes the taste buds but also adds a touch of sophistication to any gathering. Historically, endive has been celebrated since ancient times for its crisp texture and slightly bitter flavor, making it an ideal vessel for rich fillings.

Serves 8

Ingredients

Endive
2 heads, separated into leaves
Goat cheese
8 ounces, softened
Walnuts
1/2 cup, chopped
Honey
2 tablespoons
Fresh thyme
1 tablespoon, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by trimming the bottoms of the endive heads and carefully separating the leaves. Aim for whole leaves to create perfect boats for filling.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened goat cheese, chopped walnuts, honey, and fresh thyme. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix until well blended and creamy.
  3. Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each endive leaf with a generous spoonful of the goat cheese mixture, ensuring each leaf is packed with flavor.
  4. Arrange the stuffed endive leaves on a decorative serving platter, showcasing their beautiful shape and colors.
  5. For an added touch, drizzle a little extra honey over the top and garnish with additional fresh thyme for a pop of color and flavor.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful contrast of creamy, crunchy, and herbal flavors!

Tips

  • 💡 To enhance the flavor even further, consider adding a sprinkle of lemon zest to the goat cheese mixture for a refreshing citrus note.
  • 💡 Feel free to replace walnuts with other nuts, such as pecans or hazelnuts, for a different flavor profile.
  • 💡 These stuffed endives can be prepared a few hours in advance; just keep them covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
