A refreshing finger food, endive leaves are a crunchy foil for smooth, homemade herbed yogurt cheese.

Preparation

Line sieve with double thickness cheesecloth. Scrape yogurt into sieve; place over bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until reduced to 1 cup (250 mL), about 6 hours. Discard liquid. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
