What if I told you that you can make delicious homemade cheese with just yogurt and salt? This recipe is not only easy to make, but it will also allow you to say goodbye to industrial products. Here’s how to make this fresh and tasty cheese in a few simple steps.

Ingredients :

  • 500 g of natural yogurt (preferably whole for a creamier texture)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: fresh dill, black pepper, 1 clove garlic (for flavoring)

Preparation Steps:

  1. Mix the yogurt and salt  :
    • In a bowl, mix the plain yogurt with a teaspoon of salt. Make sure the salt is evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.
  2. Filter the mixture  :
    • Place a cheesecloth or clean tea towel over another bowl. Pour the yogurt and salt mixture into the cheesecloth.
    • Fold the edges of the tea towel to wrap the yogurt well.
  3. Let drain  :
    • Place a weight (such as a weight or a tin can) on the towel to press down on the yogurt and make it easier to drain.
    • Let sit in the refrigerator for  4 to 6 hours , or overnight for a firmer texture.
  4. Flavoring (optional)  :
    • Once the cheese is drained, you can flavor it according to your preferences. Add chopped fresh dill, ground black pepper or a pressed garlic clove for more flavor.
  5. Serve  :
    • Unmold your homemade cheese and serve it with fresh bread, crackers or crunchy vegetables. It’s perfect for an appetizer or a healthy snack!
