BELGIAN ENDIVE WITH EGG SALAD
I was so very lucky in that I was able to go to Italy, and I went to wonderful dinners where various stuffed endives were served. Egg salad was a nice, rich, savory favorite every time. :)

Steps:
- Mix together the chopped eggs, mayo, mustard, celery salt, and minced dried onion.
- You can make the filling 1 day ahead- at this point, you'd need to cover and refrigerate it.
- Cut off and discard the root ends of endive, and separate leaves.
- Rinse leaves under cool running water, then shake dry.
- On the wide end of each leaf, place a generous teaspoon the egg mixture, and then place 1 shrimp atop each.
- Sprinkle each filled leaf with paprika.
- And now for the artistic portion of the program: for serving: on a large platter, arrange the filled leaves in concentric circles, resembling a flower. If you like, you can place colorful edible flowers in the middle and arrange the leaves around them, for a little color and artistry! You can arrange them on the platter 4 hours ahead, then cover and chill until serving.

CURLY ENDIVE SALAD WITH MUSTARD DRESSING, EGG AND GRUYèRE
This wintry salad uses the pale center leaves of the curly endive - save the outer leaves for another use, like adding to a soup - but you could also combine them with Belgian endive and Chioggia, Treviso or speckled Castelfranco radicchio. As for the eggs, which add heft, cook them as you prefer, with a runny, gooey or moist yolk.

Steps:
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add eggs (the water should cover them), and return to a boil. Adjust heat so that the water is at a brisk simmer. For a runny yolk, cook for 7 minutes; for a gooey center, cook for 8 minutes; for a slightly moist center, cook for 9 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath.
- Immediately drain eggs and plunge into ice water to cool. When cool, crack and peel eggs. (Eggs can be cooked and peeled up to several hours in advance, and refrigerated.) Roughly chop eggs into haphazard slices.
- Put vinegar, mustard and garlic in a small bowl. Whisk with a fork to dissolve. Slowly whisk in olive oil to make a slightly thick dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Put endive in a low, wide salad bowl and sprinkle very lightly with salt. Add dressing to taste and toss well. Transfer greens to individual plates. Top with chopped egg. With a vegetable peeler, shave thin slices of Gruyère over each salad.
ENDIVE SALAD WITH EGG AND ANCHOVY
For a cool-weather salad, pale green Belgian endive dressed with an assertive anchovy vinaigrette is a refreshing beginning to a meal - or a nice light lunch. For more color, try adding other endive relatives: the red-leafed variety, frisée, different types of radicchio or speckled Castelfranco chicory. All of these winter salad greens have sweetness and a pleasant hint of bitterness. Belgian endive is the mildest of the bunch. As for anchovies, look for good fat meaty ones. Rinse and blot, then coat with a little good extra-virgin olive oil.

Steps:
- Make the vinaigrette: Pound together (or hand chop) garlic and 4 anchovy fillets to make a rough paste. Transfer mixture to a small bowl.
- Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice, zest and Dijon mustard and stir well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Whisk in olive oil. Taste and adjust lemon juice, salt and pepper. Just before preparing salad, taste vinaigrette again and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Cut the bottoms off of endives and discard any withered outer leaves. Separate the leaves and pile them in a large salad bowl. (Cut the hearts in half or quarters lengthwise.) Add the radicchio, if using.
- Just before serving, sprinkle leaves lightly with salt and pepper, and drizzle with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette. Toss gently, then distribute among six to eight plates. Garnish each plate with an egg cut in half or into quarters, and an anchovy fillet, then drizzle plates with remaining dressing.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425.
- Discard any of the endive's bruised or wilted outer leaves. Cut away a thin slice from the root end to remove the usually discolored surface portion of the stem. Wash the endive under cold running water, then shake off the moisture.
- Cut each head of endive in half lengthwise. Make a cut in the root end, cutting half as deep as the root is thick and running the cut from the bottom to where the leaves join the root.
- Place the endive on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast, turning once, until the endive is browned, and very tender, 50 to 60 minutes. (It's done when you can easily pierce the root end with a fork.) Serve hot or warm.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and crisp Belgian endive: Look for endives that are tightly packed and have a bright green color. Avoid any that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Prepare the endive properly: Cut off the root end of the endive and remove any damaged leaves. Then, slice the endive lengthwise into quarters or halves, depending on the size of the endives.
- Hard-boil the eggs perfectly: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Use high-quality mayonnaise: A good mayonnaise will make a big difference in the flavor of the egg salad. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- Season the egg salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add chopped herbs, such as chives, parsley, or dill, for extra flavor.
- Chill the egg salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will make the egg salad easier to handle.
Conclusion:
Belgian endive with egg salad is a classic dish that is both delicious and elegant. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it can also be served as an appetizer. With its鮮脆可口的菊苣、美味可口的蛋奶醬和簡單的調味,這道菜肯定會成為您餐桌上的常客。
