Method

Directions

1

Strain the Yogurt

Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and line it with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Pour the plain yogurt into the strainer and let it drain in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, or until it reaches a thick, creamy consistency.

2

Prepare the Labneh

Once the yogurt is strained, transfer the labneh to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with za’atar, and season with salt to taste. Top with chopped chives.

3

Serve

Serve the labneh with pita bread or fresh vegetables for dipping.
