How to make it
Cut root end off endive, quarter and core pear and thinly slice. Arrange endive & pear on 6 plates in a star shape from centre outwards. Chop remaining endive and place in the centre of each star. If preparing in advance rub endive and pear with water mixed with 20 % lemon juice. Dry roast hazelnuts in a 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes or until skins are dark. Let cool, remove the skin and coarsely chop. Heat wine in a small saucepan over medium heat and reduce by 1 / 3. Add vinegar, cream and oil and reduce heat to medium-low. Whisk in cheese until melted and then pour equal portions over each salad. Sprinkle with hazelnuts, chives and black pepper.
