Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of 17 1/4-ounce package), thawed
1 egg, beaten to blend (glaze)
9 smoked bacon slices, chopped
1/3 cup minced shallots
1 cup ruby Port
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
6 heaping tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
9 cups bite-size curly endive

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Unfold pastry onto work service. Using 2-inch- diameter scalloped cookie cutter, cut out 12 rounds. Using 1-inch-diameter cookie cutter, cut out centers of 6 pastry rounds. Discard centers. Pierce 2-inch rounds all over with fork. Brush edges with egg glaze. Top with pastry rings, pressing gently. Transfer to large baking sheet. Bake until puffed and golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool. Pull out uncooked portion from centers of pastries and discard. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Cook bacon in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels. Pour 3 tablespoons bacon drippings into small bowl. Discard all but 1 teaspoon of remaining drippings from skillet. Add shallots to drippings in skillet; sauté over medium-high heat until tender, about 3 minutes. Add Port and cranberries and bring to boil, scraping any browned bits. Boil until cranberries are soft and liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add reserved 3 tablespoons bacon drippings and stir just until warm. Pour vinegar into small bowl. Gradually whisk in Port mixture.
  • Meanwhile, place pastries on baking sheet. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon cheese into center of each. Bake until cheese is soft, about 6 minutes.
  • Place endive in large bowl. Pour warm dressing over and toss. Divide greens among 6 plates. Sprinkle with bacon. Top each with 1 pastry and serve.

Categories     Lettuce Salads

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 c extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp shallots, finely chopped
2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 belgian endive, thinly sliced on a long diagonal
10 oz baby spinach leaves
1 c pecans, toasted and chopped
1/2 c dried cranberries
1/3 c danish blue cheese, crumbled

  • 2. Add endive and spinach and toss to combine.
  • 3. Sprinkle salad with pecans, cranberries, and blue cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and crisp endives. Look for heads that are deep green in color and have tightly packed leaves.
  • Wash the endives thoroughly. Soak them in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes, then rinse them under running water.
  • Dry the endives thoroughly. Use a salad spinner or pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Tear the endives into bite-sized pieces. You can also use a knife to chop them.
  • Use a variety of toppings. Blue cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use other cheeses, such as feta, goat cheese, or Parmesan. You can also add nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or bacon.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Endives will wilt quickly, so it's best to eat the salad as soon as it's made.

Conclusion:

Endive and blue cheese salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its combination of bitter endives, creamy blue cheese, and tangy dressing, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
