Yogurt Cheese

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.
