Homemade cheese made from milk and kefir

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 8 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make homemade cheese from milk and kefir? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Choose full-fat milk. You can add other spices to suit your taste. Wash the parsley under running water, dry with paper towels and chop finely. Parsley can also be supplemented or replaced with other herbs, such as dill.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour the milk into a saucepan or small saucepan. Over medium heat, bring the milk to just before boiling. If milk foam appears on the surface, you should remove it.

3. STEP 3

   

   Slowly pour kefir into the pan.

4. STEP 4

   

   The whey should separate, and curdled flakes will float on the surface. Remove the saucepan from the heat.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add salt and mix the mixture thoroughly.

6. STEP 6

   

   Line a colander with two layers of thick gauze. If you have gauze with large cells, then fold it into 5 layers. Drain the mixture in a colander and allow the whey to drain. This recipe doesn't use whey, but don't throw it away! After all, on its basis you can bake, for example, excellent rich bread or fluffy pancakes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Now all that remains is to divide the cheese into three equal parts. Add finely chopped parsley to one part, paprika to another, and the third will remain with the classic taste. Mix cheese with additives. Place the cheese mixtures in the center of small pieces of gauze and form them into balls. The ends of the gauze can be secured with culinary clamps for industrial packaging. Leave in the refrigerator overnight. Before serving, remove the cheese from the cheesecloth and garnish with fresh herbs.

I really like homemade cheese, it doesn’t look like store-bought cheese, but it’s tasty and healthy. I have already made cheese using this recipe and I liked it. Staza took three liters of milk, and instead of kefir I had full-fat homemade fermented milk. For taste and better rolling, I added a little lemon juice. I didn’t roll the balls, I weighed out the whole mass at once. After the whey had drained, I put the press on top and put it in the refrigerator overnight. The cheese turned out crumbly and tender. It is very tasty, curd. Sprinkled ground smoked paprika on top. We ate this cheese for breakfast, slices of the loaf were greased with butter and slices of cheese were placed on top. Well, very tasty and fresh. Plus it’s healthy, you need protein for breakfast! And no chemicals) Thanks for the recipe!
