making labneh....yogurt cheese

So, I have made yogurt cheese dip before (see my post Sundried Tomato dip)  but I didn't know about Labneh. It is a Lebanese yogurt cheese made with whole milk yogurt.  It is pretty easy to make but takes a couple of days.

Draining yogurt

This the whey that drains from the yogurt.  You can save and use in other recipes.

This is the recipe I am using.

But I am going to roll the balls in this!

Za'atar to roll the cheese balls in when done.

I will post again when they are done.
