Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Endive heads
- 200 grams Cream cheese
- 100 grams Goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 120 grams Cranberry sauce
- 50 grams Chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Gently separate the endive leaves from the heads, rinse them under cold water, and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Set aside on a serving platter.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, goat cheese, honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the cheeses are smooth and fully integrated.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, evenly distribute the cheese mixture onto the wide end of each endive leaf, filling about 1 tablespoon per leaf.
Top each cheese-filled endive leaf with a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of cranberry sauce.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts and fresh thyme leaves over the top of each canapé for added texture and flavor.
Arrange the canapés neatly on the serving platter and serve immediately. These are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
