Yogurt Cheese

By: LISAMONIQUE

"A delicious, creamy cheese that perks up bagels and sandwiches. 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."

Original Recipe Yield 2 cups

Ingredients

3 cups plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic

Directions

Line a strainer with two layers of cheesecloth. In a medium bowl, mix together the yogurt, salt, pepper and garlic.
Pour into the cheesecloth lined strainer. Place the strainer over another bowl to catch the liquid, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 days, until all of the liquid has drained off. Empty the drainage bowl occasionally so you can see when the cheese has stopped draining.
Transfer cheese to a covered container, and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
