🥘 Ingredients

1

Stir kosher salt into whole-milk yogurt until it is evenly slack.
2

Tie @&( timer into a doubled square of cheesecloth , hang it over a bowl in the fridge and 24 hr , until it is half the weight it went in at.
3

Beat @&( timer smooth with a spoon — it comes out of the cloth in a solid, slightly grainy lump and needs thirty seconds of working to turn creamy again.
4

Spread @&( timer across a shallow plate in a wide swirl, pool extra-virgin olive oil in the hollows and scatter za'atar over the top.
