Whenever I have a dinner party at my house, I always have the same dilemma…what shall I make for appetizers? I get more stressed out about the appetizers than the main course, so that is the reason I have been making a lot of different appetizers lately, which explains all of my bean dips :).
This endive recipe was really great, not to mention how easy and simple it was to make. The endive looks so pretty and they are deliciously tasty with the beautiful combination of soft herbed cream cheese and caramelized apple filling. This is a great appetizer for your next holiday party. Try it!

Erica... Eso debe estar de muerte!
Siempre he cocinado las endivias con salsa de nata y roquefort, pero así como las has preparado y con la manzana caramelizada. Ayyy... Ya me estoy chupando los dedos.
Un beso.

I'd like to try Belgian Endives, every time I passed by them I got curious, but never had the courage to bring them home. Now I know what I'd do next time when I am in my favourite grocery.

I rarely like sweet things in otherwise savory foods with the exception of apples and raisins...
this is a must try.

Hi Maria,
Endive is a type of lettuce.

I think stuffed endives make beautiful appetizers! Unfortunately all my family and friends are such carnivores, that I'd be the only one digging into these nummy goodies ... genius idea abt combining the cream cheese and apples like that.
Erica
Thank you guys!

Appetizers can be a real problem all right- you want something different, tasty and not too filling. These little bites on endive hit the spot.
