Scallion Yogurt Cheese

 Scallion Yogurt Cheese

In my quest to reduce fat and calories in recipes, I have started playing with yogurt cheese also known as labneh. I has the consistency of  spreadable cream cheese and the tartness of goat cheese. I've been trying it in recipes that call for plain or savory cream with success.
