- 1
Line a sieve with cheesecloth and place it over a bowl. Spoon the yogurt into the lined sieve.
- 2
Cover the yogurt with the edges of the cheesecloth and place a weight on top (e.g., another bowl filled with water). Refrigerate for 12-24 hours, or until the yogurt has thickened considerably and most of the whey has drained into the bowl. The longer it strains, the thicker the labneh will be.

Once strained, scoop the thick labneh into a serving dish.
- 4
Drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil.
- 5
Sprinkle liberally with za'atar spice blend.
- 6
Season with salt to taste, if desired.
