Here’s a great breakfast tip: Add some feta cheese to your scrambled eggs. Quick little additions to your scrambled eggs can really elevate them without adding any considerable effort. You can either toss some on after the eggs are finished, or take a little extra time to throw some in partway through the cooking process. If you want to get a little more fancy, spinach also really complements the feta!

Jokes aside, it’s true that many store bought cheeses, especially mozzarella, deliberately sacrifice quality in order to be easier to cook with. Our cheeses work great fresh or cooked if you take the extra time to let it dry!

Here’s the Fridge we keep the finished product during the week before we sell it at the market! Do y’all prefer our fresh cheeses or our yogurt?

Given it’s the start of fall we figured a super simple cake recipe using greek yogurt could be good. Generally greek yogurt cakes go best with high fat greek yogurts, so we figured BRD greek yogurt, which is abundant in healthy fats from our use of jersey cow milk, would be the perfect fit (and yup all our different flavors work for this recipe). The recipe works for 8-9 in cake pans and 8x8 baking trays :
2 large eggs
3/4 cups sugar
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup all-purpose flour
First preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Start by beating the eggs and sugar together with an electric mixer until a fluffy mixture is achieved, at which point begin adding small amounts of greek yogurt while mixing. Once the yogurt-egg mixture is finished add in the baking soda and flour 1/4 cup at a time mixing in between. When the batter is complete and lump free, put it in a pan which has had cooking oil applied and pop it in the oven for around 35 minutes. Once it’s finished baking, give it 15 minutes to rest and you're good to help yourself!
