Delicious cream cheese that complements bagels and sandwiches. It is very easy to make and the possibilities are endless. Try using fat-free yogurt, such as Balkan yogurt. You can easily experiment with many other ingredients, such as chopped olives, fresh herbs, or sweet ingredients.

Line the strainer with 2 layers of gauze; place over a large bowl to drain.

In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Pour the yogurt mixture into a strainer lined with cheesecloth. Place the strainer and draining bowl in the refrigerator until all the liquid has drained, which is 1-2 days. Empty the drain bowl from time to time so you can tell when the cheese has stopped draining.

Put the cheese in a closed container; store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Tartlets are a quite popular appetizer, often prepared for various holidays and buffets. Tasty and appetizing baskets with filling quickly disappear from the table. Today, I suggest preparing tartlets with beets, hard cheese, and herring. Such a juicy and vibrant appetizer is suitable for any occasion. It's the perfect combination of taste and beautiful presentation. There is a wide range of ready-made tartlets available for sale, so it's not necessary to make them yourself. I used wafer baskets for the recipe. If you want to prepare the appetizer in advance, use shortcrust tartlets, as they do not get soggy and remain crispy for longer.

For breakfast, we prepare aromatic and delicious cheesecakes in the air fryer. Instead of traditional wheat flour, we will use rice flour, which is gluten-free. It helps the dish maintain its shape while remaining very tender. This tenderness and lightness is the main difference between these cheesecakes and the traditional ones. Add dried fruits to make the appetizing morning dish even healthier. Sour cream, jam, chocolate or caramel sauce will perfectly complement the cheesecakes.
