Ingredients

• 2 cups Plain whole-milk yogurt (Greek or regular)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

1. Line a fine-mesh strainer with a cheesecloth or a clean, thin kitchen towel and place it over a bowl. Add the yogurt to the lined strainer, ensuring it's evenly spread.

Step 2

2. Fold the cheesecloth or towel over the yogurt to cover it completely, then place a small plate or bowl on top to gently weigh it down.

Step 3

3. Allow the yogurt to strain in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. The longer it strains, the thicker the cheese will be.

Step 4

4. Once the yogurt has strained to a thick, creamy consistency, transfer it to a mixing bowl.

Step 5

5. Add the chopped parsley, chives, dill, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the strained yogurt. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

6. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or herbs if desired.

Step 7

7. Transfer the herbed yogurt cheese to a serving dish and drizzle with olive oil if desired.

Step 8

8. Serve immediately with crackers, sliced vegetables, or bread, or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
