Marlene's Baked Yogurt Cheese | Milk Day
makes 2 servings - each serving uses 8 oz of your daily milk allowance
Ingredients
- 16 oz plain whole milk yogurt
- various spices or favorite tea
Directions
- set a strainer over a large bowl
- line strainer with 4 layers of cheesecloth, allowing extra cloth to hang over edges
- spoon yogurt onto cheese cloth
- fold excess cheesecloth over top of yogurt and cover with plastic wrap
- put in refrigerator at least 8 hours
- the longer it drains, the better
- suggestion: put a light weight such as a plastic container on top to help the draining process
- when draining is complete, preheat oven to 450½
- unwrap yogurt cheese and put into baking pan
- mix in spices to taste. Marlene's favorites:
- pictured, Yogi Tea Mexican Sweet Chili tea bag cut opened and mixed in
- cumin, pepper, sea salt, tarragon, rosemary and summer savory
- bake in oven approximately 1 hour
- when you see the sides pull back from the pan and the texture is more firm to the touch, it's ready
- let cheese cool on stove top
- note, unused portion may be refrigerated
- let return to room temperature before eating
- enjoy!
