How to Make Endive With Goat Cheese Fig And Honey Glazed Pecans

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, toss 1 cup pecan halves with 2 tablespoons honey. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 4 minutes, then stir and bake for another 4 minutes, or until pecans are shiny and glazed.
  4. While pecans bake, prepare the goat cheese quenelles. Using a demitasse spoon or small melon baller, shape 36 quenelles from 8 ounces of goat cheese.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons port wine and 1 tablespoon honey. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half and thickened to a syrupy consistency (about 5 minutes).
  6. If using dried figs (about 6-8 figs), reconstitute them in 3 tablespoons warm water and 2 tablespoons port for 5 minutes. Drain before using.
  7. To assemble, place a quenelle of goat cheese in the center of each endive leaf. Top with a reconstituted fig (or fresh fig slices) and a few honey-glazed pecans.
  8. Drizzle the port reduction over the assembled endives before serving.
