I'm not a big fan of crab, but I loved these endive boats. The bacon and cheese really balanced out the flavor of the crab.

I thought the recipe was a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper to the filling, and that helped a lot.

I had trouble finding endive at my local grocery store. I ended up using escarole instead, and it worked out fine.

These endive boats were a bit too rich for my taste. The filling was very creamy and the bacon was a bit too salty. I think I would prefer a lighter filling next time.
