Easiest Cheese Recipe EVER

I discovered this idea online maybe a year ago, but I don't remember what website it was from. It's really easy to make a spreadable yogurt cheese which you can eat with pita and a little olive oil (like Lebne, the Middle Eastern dish) or use as a substitute for cream cheese.

All you have to do is take your desired amount of yogurt (store bought or homemade) and strain it through a cheesecloth overnight in the refrigerator. Keep in mind you will end up with half or a little less cheese than the yogurt you put in.

If you want a Lebne-type cheese I recommend using yogurt that has a strong tangy flavor (your homemade yogurt gets tangier the longer you let it sit).


Or you can use a less strongly flavored yogurt and experiment with flavoring for a sweet spread.
