Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make homemade cheese from cottage cheese and milk? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. It is better to take cottage cheese that is fatty and homogeneous, otherwise there may be cottage cheese inclusions in the finished product. This, of course, will not spoil the taste in any way, but the texture will not be uniform. If you bought granular cottage cheese, rub it through a fine sieve.

Step 2

Step 2
Pour milk into the pan, add cottage cheese and mix everything until smooth. To make a tasty, fatty cheese, the milk should not be store-bought, but natural, from cows. And it must stand in the refrigerator after milking for at least one day in order to ripen.

Step 3
Place over medium heat and heat the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook until curd curds curd and whey separates, stirring. This took me about 7-10 minutes.

Remove from heat and pour the mixture onto a sieve filled with gauze folded in several layers. I used a special mylar bag for making cheese. Let the serum drain completely. In order to speed up the process, you can press on the curd mass with a regular spoon.

Break an egg into a bowl, add baking soda and salt. Mix everything well with a fork until smooth.
