Gorgonzola, Pecans, Apricots, and Honey in Endive

After a weekend that included watching No Thank You Boy play a football game during Tropical Storm Hannah and two softball games played by My Oldest and My Middle One, a relaxing dinner at home was on tap for us. I ran home between softball games today to get dinner going and make a quick appetizer. Gorgonzola, Pecans, Apricots, and Honey in Endive is both sweet and savory; two components that I particularly enjoy.

With all the ingredients on hand, this appetizer goes together in a few minutes. Stave off that pre-dinner hunger with this tasty tidbit.

Gorgonzola, Pecans, Apricots, and Honey in Endive



1 head of endive, separated into leaves
2 tablespoons Gorgonzola, crumbled
2 tablespoons pecans, chopped
2 dried apricots, diced
honey

Arrange the endive leaves on a plate. Divide the Gorgonzola, pecans, and apricots among the leaves. Place the ingredients on the bottom quarter of each leaf. Drizzle each leaf with honey. Can be refrigerated up to 6 hours before serving.

These do look easy and good! Gorgonzola is so delish and the apricots put it over the top.

Yum, I am drooling just thinking of all those great flavors in the endive boats. Great recipe!

This looks absolutely heavenly. Perfect for fall weather!

Ooh these sound so good and simple too. I like endives with treats inside, esp this combination of the nuts, fruit and cheese. Honey just makes it all better!

I repeat my previous comment that these are over the top and add that you are too! I've sent you an award to attest to that fact - you can grab it on my site http://lisasmagicsprinkles.blogspot.com/.

How easy does that look? Wish I had this recipe when it was 100 degrees out and I wasn't up to cooking. Love this recipe.

Those look excellent! I love how you used the endive as the serving vessel and it sounds like a very tasty starter

I love hors d'oevres, especially stuffed endive spears.
I usually do mine with smoked trout.
So pretty and yummy!
Nice blog!
