Notes

Choose firm, fresh endives for the best results.
Don’t skip the balsamic vinegar—it adds depth to the flavor.
Let the tart cool slightly before flipping to avoid spills.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding fresh thyme leaves over the endives before adding the cheese.
If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven for optimal crispness.
