If you use Greek yogurt you’ll want to drain it as there is still some liquid in it. • If you can’t find Greek yogurt you can take plain yogurt and put it in a strainer with a coffee filter in it to get out all the liquid. This will take over night to do. To drain yogurt place it in a paper coffee filter in a strainer over a bowl to catch the liquid. If you don’t like goat cheese you can substitute cream cheese.
