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.

Are the beets roasted first, or are they raw?

Hi Karyn, the beets are cooked and chopped. This is such an old post from when I first started blogging. I need to totally revamp it. I’ve add that bit of info to the recipe card so thank you pointing that out. I hope you enjoy them!
