Homemade goat's milk cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make homemade goat cheese? You only need two ingredients: milk and lemon. Take the rest according to taste, desire and personal preference.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour the milk into a saucepan or thick-bottomed pan and heat over low heat. The longer it takes, the better. The fresher the milk, the better!

3. STEP 3

   

   Squeeze the juice out of the lemon. Ready-made lemon juice in a bag is not suitable, you only need freshly squeezed! It is desirable that the lemon is ripe and juicy.

4. STEP 4

   

   When the milk boils, add squeezed lemon juice, stir gently and boil for a few minutes. During this time, the whey will separate.

5. STEP 5

   

   It will be something like this.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the resulting mixture in a colander lined with gauze (muslin or other suitable cloth) and drain off the whey. Do not pour it out, but pour it into another suitable container.

7. STEP 7

   

   This whey is suitable for okroshka, pancakes, and sauerkraut. The main thing is not to pour it into the sink.

8. STEP 8

   

   Now roll the future cheese into a gauze knot and tie it so that it does not accidentally come undone.

9. STEP 9

   

   Hang over the pan for 30-60 minutes to allow any remaining liquid to drain and the cheese to firm up. You can shape the cheese by hand as you go.

10. STEP 10

    

    Remove the cheese bundle.

11. STEP 11

    

    This is what happened.

12. STEP 12

    

    At this stage, the cheese can already be eaten - it cuts perfectly, has a good creamy aroma, pleasant texture and the ingenious taste of soft white cheeses.

13. STEP 13

    

    For bread or just for a cheese plate - it's just right.

14. STEP 14

    

    If you don't want to stop there, add spices and salt. Chop everything and mix with soft cheese. Seal the cheese with the same gauze or in a special mold. It makes a spicy snack.

Homemade cheese is a hundred times better than store-bought cheese. I will offer a recipe for kefir cheese.

Foster, an excellent cheese made from everything natural and healthy! I wonder if plain milk will produce such beauty? Great advice: hang the curd in a saucepan on a spoon and use the whey in borscht, pancakes, pancakes, but I don’t understand how to use it in sauerkraut? Thank you very much for the recipe!

We keep goats. Milk is fresh every day. I tried curdling it with lemon juice twice. Does not exceed!!! I just put molrko on sour milk. When we heat the oven, I make cottage cheese in the oven. Amazing! Actually, this is not a cheese recipe(((but it’s tasty and healthy. It’s a pity, it doesn’t work out that easy for me. I make it according to other recipes.
