ENDIVE STUFFED WITH GOAT CHEESE AND WALNUTS



Endive Stuffed With Goat Cheese and Walnuts image

This is a very elegant appetizer that the woman usually rant and rave about. I got this from Cooking Light and haven't found anything comparable. This must be served within 1 hour of making because the endive wilts very easily. If you use romaine maybe it would retain shape easier, although the endive has a unique taste.

STUFFED ENDIVE SPEARS

This is my kind of Super ball food! If you don't like endive spread it in crackers or use as a dip for vegies. Use as a condiment for a sandwich or serve with grilled chicken.I`ve also added 1/4 cup diced red onions to the mixture.
