Lavash with Strained Cheese Calories

Strained cheese is a fresh cheese with some of its whey removed, giving it a thicker texture than many soft cheeses. Its exact firmness and tang vary, so drain it further if it is loose before using it in lavash.

Lavash with strained cheese can be eaten either way. Heating it in a skillet makes the bread warm and lightly crisp, while serving it cold keeps it soft and works well for a quick wrap or packed lunch.

Keep lavash with strained cheese from getting soggy by draining excess liquid from the cheese and patting washed vegetables dry. Add juicy ingredients such as tomato just before eating, rather than assembling the wrap well in advance.

Yes, you can grill lavash with strained cheese in a panini press or on a grill pan. Fold the lavash securely with the seam underneath, and use moderate heat so the bread browns before the cheese leaks out.

Parsley, dill, mint, and chives all pair well with lavash with strained cheese. Chop the herbs finely and mix them into the cheese for an even filling; dry them well after washing to avoid adding excess moisture.

Yes, lavash with strained cheese works with vegetables such as spinach, roasted peppers, or cucumber. Cook watery vegetables first or remove excess moisture, then cool them before adding so they do not make the bread damp.

Serve lavash with strained cheese with a crisp salad, sliced vegetables, or soup for a simple meal. Olives and fresh tomatoes also make a good accompaniment when you are serving it as a light breakfast or snack.

Yes, you can assemble lavash with strained cheese ahead for lunch, but keep it wrapped and chilled until you leave. For a less soggy wrap, pack juicy vegetables separately and add them shortly before eating.

You can freeze lavash with strained cheese, but thawing may change the cheese’s texture and leave the bread softer. For a better result, freeze plain lavash separately and add freshly prepared strained cheese when you are ready to eat.
