Beet & Goat Cheese Stuffed Endive

If you are in need of a quick and easy appetizer, this beet & goat cheese stuffed endive dish is the way to go. Only a few minutes a couple ingredients to make this beautiful and tasty dish.

While I was shopping at Trader Joes the other day I noticed these colorful bunches of endive. I had a flash back to one of my mother’s cocktail parties where she served an appetizer made with endive leaves and a creamy spread. It was fancy finger food! I decided to give it a try and picked up some red and golden beets, goat cheese and walnuts to make these beet & goat cheese stuffed endive leaves. This is such a simple appetizer to make with only a few ingredients. However, these are not just for appetizers;  you can eat them for lunch!

This literally takes minutes to make. The spread is a mixture of cream cheese, goat cheese and rosemary. You mix those together and place a small spoonful in each leaf. Then top with chopped beets and walnuts. 

I love this combination of goat cheese, beets and nuts. I made a fabulous beet noodles & goat cheese salad this past year that I loved. So that is why I used this combination again. It’s that tangy, cream cheese, sweet beets and crunchy nuts that go so well together.
