Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of thyme leaves over the caramelized endives before adding the Roquefort. Leftovers can be wrapped and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to retain crispness. If you can't find Roquefort, consider using Gorgonzola or another blue cheese. For a vegetarian option, use plant-based butter.
