  1. Cut the endives in half lengthwise and remove the hard core.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and place endives cut-side down, cooking until golden brown (5–7 minutes).
  3. Sprinkle sugar over the endives and cook for another 3–4 minutes until caramelized.
  4. Deglaze the pan with balsamic vinegar, season with salt and pepper, and let cool.

  6. Arrange the caramelized endives cut-side up in the prepared pan.

Notes

Use high-quality Roquefort and puff pastry for the best results. Be patient when caramelizing endives; low heat develops the best flavor. Don’t skip the balsamic reduction; it provides a crucial tangy-sweet element to the dish. For a vegetarian option, substitute butter with margarine and feel free to explore different cheese varieties if Roquefort isn’t available. Leftovers can be enjoyed as a breakfast option with a poached egg for a delicious combination!
