Yoghurt cheese

A delicious soft cheese made from drained Greek yoghurt that goes with lamb or you can just spread it on crackers. You can also roll it in herbs to create the Middle Eastern yoghurt balls called Labne.

Ingredients

  • 1kg Greek-style plain yoghurt

  • ½ tsp salt

Equipment

  • 1 bowl
  • 1 sieve
  • 1 muslin or chux

Instructions

  1. In a bowl stir the salt into the yogurt.
  2. Line a sieve with muslin or a new chux (pre-rinsed).
  3. Pour the yoghurt into the lined sieve and cover.
  4. Place the sieve over a bowl in the fridge and leave to drain for 3 days.

Notes

Tip
I love serving this on crackers with tomatoes and salt and pepper. It is so creamy and lends itself to the addition of other flavours.
Variation
You can roll it in ground paprika or herbs or dukkah to make labne.
Storage
Keeps in the fridge for one week.
