In Greece, rich, thick yogurt is often used in recipes or served as a treat. Greek yogurt is significantly thicker than the yogurt we are used to in the U.S. Thyme blossom honey drizzled over thick, creamy yogurt inspired this simply luscious dessert made all the more wonderful with the addition of crunchy toasted walnuts.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons butter
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon dried or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons good quality mild honey
2 cups Greek yogurt

Method

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add walnuts and stir until just toasted and beginning to brown. Remove from heat. Stir in thyme quickly, then add honey and stir to coat walnuts.

Divide yogurt onto two dessert plates. Spoon honeyed walnuts over the top.

*If you are unable to find Greek yogurt, you can thicken whole milk yogurt by following these directions: Line a colander or strainer with muslin or 3 layers of cheesecloth. Place 24 ounces whole milk plain yogurt in the lined colander or strainer. Cover loosely and place over a large bowl such that the bottom of the colander or strainer is at least one inch from the bottom of the bowl. Allow to drain for 2 to 4 hours. The consistency should be that of softened cream cheese. Place in a sealed container and refrigerate.
