Homemade kefir cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 9 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make homemade cheese from kefir? Prepare the necessary products. My milk and kefir are store-bought, both have 2.5% fat content.

2. STEP 2

   

   Break the eggs, add a little kefir to them, about a glass, and salt.

3. STEP 3

   

   Using a whisk, mix them well until smooth.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour milk and kefir into a large saucepan. It’s better to take a pot with a thick bottom, I have a regular pan, it got a little burnt.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the pan with dairy products on the stove and turn on low heat.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour the eggs into the pan, mix them with the main mass.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cook the mixture until it boils, stirring constantly so that it does not burn. Gradually, flakes will begin to form and whey will separate.

8. STEP 8

   

   Continue cooking for 10 minutes. The mass should completely curl up.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place a colander over the pan, place gauze in it, folded in several layers. Drain the cheese mixture in a colander and leave for 5 minutes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Fold the ends of the gauze over the cheese and place a flat plate on top. Place a weight on the plate, such as a jar of water. Wait for the cheese to cool completely and put this entire structure in the refrigerator overnight.

11. STEP 11

    

    In the morning, take out the colander with cheese. Remove the cheese from the gauze. It is ready to eat. Bon appetit!

I love homemade food and experimenting in the kitchen. When I saw a recipe for homemade kefir cheese, I immediately decided to make it. The ingredients needed for homemade cheese are simple and always at hand. I replaced almost all the kefir with sour cream for fat content. I was very pleased with the result! When cut, the cheese does not crumble or stick to the knife, but at the same time it has a delicate grainy structure that melts in the mouth and leaves a pleasant, creamy aftertaste. Homemade cheese, I decided to fry it in a grill pan. The cheese also did not crumble or lose its shape from the high temperature and acquired additional piquancy. To taste, I added smoked paprika, a little garlic and herbs. When cooking cheese, you can add herbs, spices, sun-dried tomatoes, etc. You definitely won’t find cheese like this on a store shelf. I also want to try making homemade cheese from baked milk. Tasty, satisfying, natural! I express my gratitude to the author for such a wonderful recipe! I never thought that you could make homemade cheese from store-bought milk, which is superior to store-bought cheese with a dubious composition.
