Cheese Stuffed Endive with Mandarin Oranges & Pistachios

February 20, 2019 by Joseph Sciascia Leave a Comment

I’m getting ready to help out a client with another Oscar party for this coming Sunday.  She has such a beautiful home and it’s always nice to be there.  By request they wanted to serve my cheese stuffed endive with Mandarin oranges & pistachios again, last year they had it and adored every bite. Like many of my parties they have a variety of appetizer items passed by a server and many on a buffet table.  A refreshing light bite like these stuffed endive leaves are always welcomed by the guests, especially when there are a few heavy items to pick from. These little gems stand out among the sliders, meatballs and skewered satay to refresh your taste buds. Did I mention that these come together in 15 minutes?  Now you have more time to see who will be taking home the gold on the big awards night…but who needs a gold statue when you have marvelous food, not me!
