Labneh

Ingredients

500g (2 cups) of EasiYo Greek Style Plain 2% Yogurt

For savory labneh:

1 small crushed garlic clove
½ tsp lemon zest
½ tsp salt

For sweet style labneh:

1 Tbsp honey
½ tsp cinnamon
1 pinch of orange zest

Method

Place a sieve over a bowl and line the inside with a generous piece of muslin or a new, clean kitchen dish cloth.
Pour the yogurt into the lined sieve and secure the cloth around to make a ball twisting the top to extract the liquid (whey). Leave over night or longer in the fridge, squeezing and twisting occasionally. The longer it drains the firmer the cheese will be.

Try the savory cheese on bagels with smoked salmon, micro greens and capers, avocado and ham, or vine tomatoes and basil.

For sweet versions try strawberry or fruit jams or sliced banana and drizzle over honey. It’s great on scones or muffins and toasted fruit bread too.
