Herbed yogurt cheese

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Nonfat plain yogurt
1 Scallion, cleaned and finely minced (1 tbsp.)
1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
1 small Clove garlic, peeled, crushed, and finely chopped
(1/2 tsp.)
¼ teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon Salt
Toast, crackers, or bread

Directions

Place the yogurt in a fine strainer set over a bowl, and refrigerate it for 8 hours to allow the moisture to drain out.

Discard the liquid, and place the yogurt in a mixing bowl. Add the green onion, parsley, garlic, pepper, and salt. Mix well.

Transfer mixture to a 12 inch square piece of cheesecloth. Gather up the edges of the cheesecloth so that the mixture inside forms a ball.

Tie the cloth together and refrigerate.

When ready to serve, unwrap the cheese, invert onto a plate, and serve with toast, crackers, or regular bread. Serves 4 Typed in MMFormat by cjhartlin@... Source: Cookbook Digest March/April 98
