Make the drizzle early in the day and you can assemble the appies up to 2 hours before....drizzle before serving.
*It's always safe to buy 3 heads of endive. The outer leaves are larger and easier to fill...they get smaller the further in you peel. I use only the large outer leaves and save the rest to shave into a salad.
