Kefir Cheese Dip
I ran out of whey this weekend and had to make some more. I’ve posted that process before, so you can look for it if you’d like. I use raw goats milk to make my kefir and then I’m left with a lovely soft cheese after the whey process. Yesterday we picked up our “farm fresh” food order from the Amish and in it we received homemade potato chips. YUM YUM! I made up a dip with whatever herbs were alive this time of year in Zone 7 of the Mid Atlantic Region. I found thyme and chives and threw in some minced garlic, cayenne and sea salt. It’s a very delicious and nutritious dip for chips or veggies.

Hi Diane,
Nice photos of the kefir cheese.
I’m making a large batch of kefir cheese for a catering job (my first!) I’m making gluten free sourdough bread toasts, topped with kefir cheese and home cured salmon. I think I will take a tip from you and season the cheese with dill and thyme which I have fresh from the garden.
Looking forward to checking your blog again.

Hi Sharon, I went to your website…that’s so cool! Do you share your recipe for the gluten-free sourdough bread? I’ve found that since healing my gut, I can now eat sourdough wheat bread. I still try to avoid gluten as much as possible, but I haven’t had success with making my own sourdough bread….let alone gluten-free! Your recipe above sounds totally delish! Mmmm what a treat for those you’re catering!
