Instructions: Chop some fresh herbs and set aside. Process together cream cheese and second cheese of your choice. Now cream together in a bowl the cheese mixture, herbs, and a bit of garlic powder to taste.

(You may also add some salt, white ground black pepper, or even cayenne pepper if you like.) Put into a pastry bag and fit with an attractive piping attachment (I use the "scallop edge" attachment).

Pipe the cheese in a line along the length of the endive "boat". Do this until all endive leaves or cheese mixture is used. Now top off each by placing on top of the piped cheese length: 1 strand of chive

(cut shorter as necessary), a bit of minced red bell pepper, and a small strip of smoked salmon. Place all "boats" on a lined cookie sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Very attractive & quite artistic.
