Crisp endive with a nutty, sweet cheese dip makes an original and delicious entertainment solution. And I usually sneak – or hide – any leftovers for a sandwich the next day. I made this last week in France, but it translates well into life back home in New York.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup mild soft goat cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 5 tablespoon fig jam
  • 1/2 cup toasted walnuts
  • dash of salt
  • 1 endive
Directions
  1. Sweet cheese dip with fig and nuts
  2. 1. Make sure both cheeses are soft and at room temperature.
  3. In a food processor, grind the nuts finely – pulse bit by bit, because you don’t want them to become nut butter!
  4. 2. Use a wooden spoon or a sturdy spatula to fold nuts and fig jam into the cheeses. Combine well and taste for seasoning. Add a pinch of mild salt (such as a fleur de sel).
  5. 3. Wash and separate endive leaves. Fill each leaf with a teaspoon of cheese or place a bowl of the cheese in the middle for dipping.
