Did you know you could turn yogurt (in this case greek yogurt) into cheese? I had no idea until I came across this post from Taste Love & Nourish blog.
And then it was like that ta-da light went off in my head… now I can stop wasting plain greek yogurt.
You see, I adore plain greek yogurt in recipes. Love the texture and tang it can add. But by itself I’m just not a fan. Not really even with fruit mixed in… it might be just this weird mental mind block for me, but whatever. So it just sits in the fridge until I eventually decide to dispose of it. BUT… not anymore!
Because now I can turn it into cheese! It is reminiscent of goat cheese, but a little bit milder (could be the brand of greek yogurt I used too). Half of the cheese I just left plain and it was a yummy cream-cheese like substitute. Awesome with the jam I made earlier this week! The other half I mixed with garlic olive oil and fennel salt… and boy oh boy, it is DELICIOUS!
I didn’t really measure, just eyeballed and taste-tested. Success! I’m looking forward to eating this smeared on some fresh bread with maybe a slice of salami. YUM.
In the meantime I ate a some on a couple of crackers! (And licked the spatula too… it’s that good!)
So happy I discovered this method!

PS… I promise I’ll post something besides food next week. ;)
