Notes

Use firm, fresh endives for the best texture and flavor. Opt for high-quality Roquefort cheese to elevate the dish. Don’t overcrowd the skillet when caramelizing; work in batches if necessary. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to a month. Reheat slices in the oven for the best texture. Enjoy with a simple salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal!
