Notes

Choose high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh endives and authentic Roquefort make a noticeable difference. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheat gently in the oven to preserve crispiness. You can caramelize the endives a day ahead and assemble the tart just before baking to save time. Consider adding a drizzle of honey over the finished tart for extra flair when serving.
