Yogurt Cheese and Breakfast Crepe Recipes

Yogurt Cheese:
1-2 cups plain Nancy's Yogurt (or any live culture yogurt)

Place yogurt in a fine mesh strainer, cheese cloth or coffee filter over a bowl and allow to drain 4-24 hours in the refrigerator. Move yogurt cheese to a clean bowl and reserve the liquid for a fruit smoothie.

This is a great cream cheese replacement. You may sweeten it with honey or agave nectar or add spices like dill, garlic, salt and pepper.


Breakfast Crepes:

Favorite crepe mix or recipe
Favorite fresh fruit (sliced)
1-2 cups sweet yogurt cheese
Agave syrup, honey or maple syrup

Make crepes and fill with sweetened yogurt cheese and fresh fruit. Drizzle a little agave syrup over rolled crepe if desired. Serve warm. Yum!
