Herb Yogurt Cheese
Author: Nicole
Ingredients
  • 15 ounces non-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons flavorful extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Zest from one lemon (~ 1 teaspoon)
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (thyme, basil, tarragon, chives, etc.)
  • Serve with crackers or baguette slices
Instructions
  1. Line strainer with a double layer of cheesecloth and place over a bowl. Spoon Greek yogurt into lined strainer and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate while yogurt drains – a minimum of 2 hours preferably overnight (the longer it trains, the thicker it will be).
  2. Transfer drained yogurt to a bowl. Using a rubber spatula, mix in olive oil, garlic, lemon zest and herbs.
  3. Transfer to a serving dish and cover. Refrigerate for at least an hour for the flavors to meld. Can be made the night before serving.
  4. Serve with crackers or baguette slices.
