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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Top each cheese-filled endive leaf with a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of cranberry sauce.
Step 5
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts and fresh thyme leaves over the top of each canapé for added texture and flavor.
Step 6
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.
