Ingredients
  

  • 12 Belgian endive spears (from 2-3 heads)
  • 6 ounces (170 g / 6 oz) Boursin cheese, Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • For easier spreading, let the Boursin cheese sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before you begin.
  • To prepare the endive, simply slice off the very bottom of the root end and the leaves will separate easily.
  • For a touch of sweetness to balance the bitter endive, add a very light drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze just before serving.

Method
 

  1. Gently separate the leaves from the heads of Belgian endive. Select 12 of the best-looking, scoop-shaped leaves and arrange them on a serving platter.
  2. Using a small spoon or butter knife, spread about 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) (½ ounce) of the Boursin cheese into the wide base of each endive spear.
  3. Garnish the cheese-filled spears with a sprinkle of finely chopped fresh parsley.
  4. Serve immediately for the best crisp texture.
  5. Add a textural crunch by topping the cheese with toasted walnuts, pecans, or pistachios.
