Homemade yogurt cheese as in Lebanon

If you ever wanted to make cheese but thought it was very difficult to make it at home, this is for you.

Traditional labneh, as they call yogurt cheese in the Arabic Eastern Mediterranean, is very easy to make. It's a creamy white cheese that you make by adding a little salt to yogurt and draining the whey overnight.

In my web site I give step-by-step instructions for making yogurt cheese easily. You'll be an accomplished cheese maker in no time, I promise.

Eat it for breakfast with flat bread or toast with olive oil, in a sandwich, or on a Lebanese-style pizza. You'll find plenty of occasions to eat this delicious yogurt cheese that belongs to the healthy Mediterranean diet.
