I love FAGE brand Greek yogurt, but I’m not about to pay for it since it is so easy to do yourself at home with regular yogurt. Use organic for the best taste and most yield, but you can also use store brands, etc. This can be used as a meal on its own, or as a topping, filling, dip base, sandwich filling, etc.
Ingredients:
Container of fat free plain yogurt. That’s all!
Directions: Line a nice, deep, big bowl with a dish cloth and pour the entire contents of the yogurt into the cloth. Tie the ends of the dish cloth around a spoon or other utensil that rests over the bowl, to drain the whey liquid from the yogurt. Put the bowl in the fridge, and periodically empty the liquid that drains out.
After a day, you’ll have a good, thick yogurt, but after 3 days, you’ll have a nice, thick cheese that can be flavored with chopped herbs, mustard, fruit, or whatever strikes your fancy. This can also be the basis for a cheesecake.

Hi there – I just discovered your site and can’t wait to try your recipes!! I had no idea it was so easy to make the “Fage”! It’s fabulous on a baked potato with a few chives sprinkled on top!
