Everyone knows my life revolves around food. Lunch is one of my favorite meals and I love to get creative with sandwiches, pitas, grilled anything… I actually welcome a challenge.
A couple of weeks ago, a MOMables subscriber emailed me to ask me what she could do with farmer’s cheese. Her neighbor has goats and gives her a container almost every week. She mentioned that she has grown tired of the plain flavor and texture.
My grandmother, was a HUGE fan of farmer’s cheese. It’s a soft white cheese made from goat, sheep, or cow’s milk that has a lot of live bacteria; therefore, loaded with good for you properties. She used to make an herb version but sadly, I never wrote it down. After days of scouring Google and purchasing over 6lbs of farmers cheese, I found a recipe that is worth sharing. It was…heavenly.
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup farmer cheese
- 3 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt, preferably Greek
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 3/4 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme
- 1/8 teaspoon coarse salt, dash of pepper
Directions:
Stir cheese and yogurt in a small bowl until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and herbs. Season with salt and pepper; stir. Cheese spread can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week.
Spread over your favorite bread slices and sandwich it up! It’s delicious with thick slices of ripe tomatoes and turkey.

That looks supah yummy, i love any kind of cheese!! I am going to try it with turkey…thanks for the tip!
My pleasure! it will turn bland into BAM!
This is the type of sandwich that would make me think I’ve died and gone to heaven. Why am I thinking they don’t sell Farmer’s Cheese in my local market? I really need to take a better look.
