Yogurt Cheese
Description
A delicious, creamy cheese that perks up bagels and sandwiches. It's very simple to make, and the variations are endless. Try to use a full-fat yogurt such as Balkan style. You could easily experiment with many other ingredients such as chopped olives, fresh herbs, or sweet ingredients.
Ingredients
•
3 cups plain yogurt
•
1 tablespoon minced garlic
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions
1
Line a strainer with 2 layers of cheesecloth; place over a large bowl for drainage.
2
In a medium bowl, mix together yogurt, garlic, salt, and pepper.
3
Pour yogurt mixture into the cheesecloth-lined strainer. Place the strainer and drainage bowl in the refrigerator until all of the liquid has drained, 1 to 2 days. Empty the drainage bowl occasionally so you can tell when cheese has stopped draining.
