Preparation of the endive

Divide the endive in half, rinse it under running water to remove any impurities and dry it well. Place the two halves of endive in the steaming basket.

Steaming the endive

Thermomix® Setting

Cooling the endive

After the cooking time, remove the endive from the basket and set it aside to cool.

Preparation of the bacon

Remove the rind from the bacon, if present, and some of the peppering on the surface, then dice it.

Chopping the parsley

Thermomix® Setting

3 Sec./Speed 7

Insert a bunch of fresh parsley into the bowl and chop for 3 Sec./Speed 7.

Browning the bacon

In a non-stick pan, brown the diced bacon until crispy. It is not necessary to add fat, as the bacon will release its fat.

Preparation of the filling

Soak the breadcrumbs in milk. When the bread is soft, squeeze it well and transfer it to a bowl. Add the grated cheese, browned bacon and chopped parsley. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Stuffing the endive

Transfer the endive to a baking sheet lined with baking paper, with the cut side facing up. Stuff each piece of endive with the prepared mixture and sprinkle with a little grated cheese. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil.
