Creamy Yogurt Cheese

A few simple seasonings turn drained nondairy yogurt into a thick, creamy, spreadable cheese that’s great on bagels and sandwiches or in ravioli, lasagne, and other savory dishes. Because the yield of the Basic Yogurt Cheese recipe is variable depending on the yogurt used and the draining time and method, it’s difficult to give exact quantities for the seasonings. Start with the amounts listed and increase them as needed to achieve the desired flavor.
