Labneh (Lebanese Cream Cheese) image

This is the Lebanese version of cream cheese, a lot tastier and lower in calories. Serve on a plate, sprinkled with olive oil, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers and mint. Or simply spread it like cream cheese on pita bread.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The labneh was too sour and runny. I think I'll stick to my old recipe.

This labneh recipe is a great way to use up leftover yogurt. It's easy to make and the results are delicious. I used it to make a mezze platter with pita bread, olives, and grape leaves.
