Yogurt cheese is a wonderful substituion for butter or margerine on crackers, bread etc.(Look at the calories) I love this herbed version on crostini, garnish with some parsley. It will keep in the fridge for up to a week. Use it plain or add your own favorite ingredients. No Fat yogurt works well - Make sure that the yogurt you use does not have geletin in it or it won't work.
Ingredients:
8 ounces yogurt (only use yogurt that contains no gelatin or it won't work)
2 green onions, finely chopped, green & white parts
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finelychopped
1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
salt & pepper
Directions:
1. First put a paper towel in the bottom of a strainer, put the strainer in a bowl with at least a 2 clearance on the bottom, put the yogurt in the lined strainer, cover with plastic wrap& place in the fridge over night orup to 2 days.
2. Drain & discard fluid Place the yogurt cheese in a bowl add remaining ingredients stir and enjoy Store the cheese in the fridge.
