This reminds me of a middle eastern version of cream cheese. It has a great tang that yogurt has but the thick creamy texture of cream cheese. All you need is some greek yogurt, salt, and patience and you can make this in a day. Serve with some pita bread, olive oil, and cucumber for an awesome snack.
Ingredients
1 tsp salt
cheese cloth
First pout the yogurt in a bowl and add the salt. Whisk the yogurt until it is a smooth mixture. Get your cheese cloth ready and pour the yogurt into the cloth. Pull up the sides and tight it in a knot so it can be a sling. I set mine on a strainer over a bowl to catch the whey drippings. Let sit in your refrigerator over night. After 1 day remove from the fridge and untie the cheese cloth. Dry off the labneh and mold it into a circle with a paper towel. With your thumb put a little indent in the middle and drizzle olive oil, salt, and black pepper over it.
