Notes

Choose firm, fresh endives for the best flavor. Don’t skip the balsamic vinegar as it enhances the flavor balance. Allow the tart to rest briefly after baking to ensure easy flipping. For added sweetness, drizzle honey over the endives before adding cheese. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days, and reheat gently in the oven for best results.
