Homemade cheese made from cottage cheese and milk

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day 35 mins

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.

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.

3. 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.

4. STEP 4

   

   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.

5. STEP 5

   

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

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the frying pan over low heat, add the butter and heat until the butter is melted.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour the egg mixture into the pan and stir quickly.

8. STEP 8

   

   Immediately add the curd mixture and stir.

9. STEP 9

   

   Continue stirring the mixture and cooking it over low heat until it begins to melt and becomes a homogeneous mass.

10. STEP 10

    

    Grease the mold with vegetable oil and transfer the hot curd mass into it. Smooth the top and leave to cool completely. Then put it in the refrigerator for one day to ripen.

11. STEP 11

    

    Remove the cheese, cut and serve.

    Bon appetit!

Great recipe for Homemade cheese made from cottage cheese and milk! I made hard cheese for the first time in my life thanks to your recipe! The cheese is very tasty, tender and with holes, which is important))) A very simple method of preparation, everything worked out the first time. Excellent description of the preparation steps. I used homemade full-fat cottage cheese and homemade full-fat milk. I added 0.5 tsp of salt to this amount of food; the cheese turned out lightly salted. Next time I’ll add 1 teaspoon of salt. But my cottage cheese was grains and I forgot to rub it through a sieve. Therefore (you can see in the photo) there are white specks in the cheese. This does not affect the taste at all, even the type of cheese turned out interesting. Not just yellow, but with specks) But instead of an egg (it didn’t turn out at the right time), I colored the mixture with turmeric. I didn’t add any egg at all, I don’t think the taste was affected much. I added 0.5 tsp of ground turmeric, but you can do less, 2 pinches for example, so that it is less richly yellow, like mine. The taste of the cheese is different from store-bought. Homemade cheese is much more tender, softer and healthier. My cheese did not sit for a day and did not ripen. I stood in the refrigerator for 3 hours and after a while disappeared from the table))) even my child ate the homemade cheese with pleasure! Thank you very much for such an interesting and necessary recipe!!!

By the way, there was also a problem with the cottage cheese when melting. Do you take homemade? Or maybe there is a store-bought one that melts well too? What I mean is, if you don’t have access to homemade ones, can you get by with store-bought ones?
