• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to paper towels.
3. Pour off all but 4 tablespoons of the fat.
4. Add the endives to the skillet.

8. Wipe out the skillet.
9. Heat the vegetable oil in each of 2 large nonstick skillets.
