HOW TO MAKE IT

  1. Light your fire 30 minutes before you are ready to cook and let it burn down until you obtain a low heat.

  2. Place a cast-iron chargrill pan on the fire so it gets nice and hot (you can also use a cast-iron frying pan).

  3. Place the endive in the pan, cut side down, and cook for about 5 minutes, letting it get some good char lines. Add the cheeses and cook until golden and starting to melt. Flip the blue cheese once – don’t turn the soft cheese over as it will fall apart.

  4. Once the cheeses are melty and the endive is charred, serve with grilled bread.
