Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 sprigs sage
3 heads endive, sliced in half lengthwise
3 heads radicchio di Treviso, sliced in half lengthwise
4 ounces crumbled gorgonzola
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch red pepper flakes

Steps:

Preheat the grill to high heat.
Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan until hot. Add the sage and allow the sage to infuse its flavor into the oil. Remove from the heat when the sage becomes fragrant and slightly crispy, a few minutes.
Grill the endive and radicchio until slightly wilted with good grill marks, about 4 minutes per side. Turn the endive and radicchio cut-side up and top with the gorgonzola. Close the lid and grill until the cheese has softened, 2 minutes.
Remove the endive and radicchio to a platter. Drizzle the infused olive oil over the top. Serve immediately.
