Like our ham, gruyère and asparagus tartines, these tartines make a quick, light meal. The flavors here are savory, sweet, salty and subtly bitter. And with crispness from the bread, juiciness from the grapes and creaminess of the cheese, the contrasting textures are equally compelling. Any type of creamy blue cheese is good on these tartines, including Roquefort, bleu d’Auvergne and Gorgonzola.

Tip

Don’t slice the endive in advance because the cut surfaces will oxidize and discolor. Wait until the tartines are under the broiler before slicing, and toss with the vinegar right away, as the acid slightly slows discoloration.

Terrific!
This has become an all too easy, yet fun way to enjoy a light lunch. Used blue cheese for one half and goat cheese for the other; both were equally delicious!

WOW! Simple and delicious
This recipe is sublime. It is simple but oh so delicious. I used Italian parsley when endive waasn't available. I admit I went heavy on the blue cheese.

Is there another cheese you would suggest for the non blue cheese lovers in my family?

Hi Amy -

You could try a creamy goat cheese or fresh ricotta. Just keep an eye on it under the broiler so it doesn't melt too much.

Best,
