For an extra layer of flavor, sauté a clove of minced garlic in olive oil before adding the escarole. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes will add a touch of heat. Grated Parmesan cheese is a delightful addition to this dish. Consider adding a drizzle of high-quality olive oil just before serving for a richer flavor.
