Classic homemade cheese recipe

How to make cheese from milk and kefir? Surely every hostess asked this question at least once. We suggest starting with a classic recipe that is easy to perform and does not require large financial costs.

Attention! When making cheese, use low-fat dairy products.

Compound:

400 ml with a low percentage of fat milk;
egg;
salt to taste.

Cooking:

Add fresh herbs to cheese

Philadelphia cheese made from milk and kefir is very tasty and tender. We will slightly modify its traditional recipe and add fresh herbs.

Compound:

500 ml with a low percentage of fat milk;
500 ml with a low percentage of fat kefir;
3 eggs;
salt;
hot red pepper to taste;
to taste cumin;
sprigs of fresh herbs;
1-2 garlic cloves.

Cooking:

On a note! The separated whey can be used for baking.

Gourmet cheese with peppercorns

It will take several days to make hard cheese from milk and kefir, because first we need to make a starter. To do this, slightly heat the milk and add 1 tbsp. l. kefir. We leave the resulting mixture in a non-cold place for two to three days. The starter is ready! And then follow the recipe below.

Compound:

2 liters of pasteurized milk;
500 ml starter;
4 eggs;
dill;
red bell pepper;
1 tsp salt.

Cooking:

Let's boil the milk.
Beat eggs with sourdough.
When the milk begins to boil, in small portions we introduce the sourdough with eggs into it, stirring regularly. We translate the level of the burner to the minimum.
We see that the curd mass slowly began to separate from the whey. The entire process takes approximately ten minutes.
Now we place the resulting mass in a colander with gauze. We are waiting for all the liquid to drain.
In the meantime, peel the pepper from the stalk and chop it into small cubes.
Wash and chop the greens.
Add pepper and chopped herbs to the future cheese, salt and stir.
Put the cheese in a mold and put a small press. Keep in the refrigerator overnight.

Secret! You can go the other way and not salt the cheese mass. Take the finished cheese and grease it on all sides with salt. Then place the cheese in the refrigerator without a mold for a couple of hours and you can serve it to the table.

Georgian spicy cheese

Unusually tasty and appetizing cheese is prepared in Georgian style. You will have to tinker with it a little, but the result will exceed all your expectations.

Compound:

4 liters of pasteurized milk;
50 ml of kefir;
1 PC. enzyme;
salt.

Cooking:

Attention! For the fermentation process to take place, add only fresh kefir.

Attention! All this time, the temperature threshold of milk should be about 30-32 °.

When I came across this melted cheese recipe, I smiled skeptically: “Of course! Cheese - without milk, butter, eggs! Parody, not cheese! Nothing good can come out of this! That's what I always do - it's cheese! „ But the new recipe haunted me, and I decided: “Let me even spoil a little cottage cheese, but I must know the truth! I'll make half a batch and see what happens." But the truth turned out to be amazing for me - the cheese turned out! What more! Let it be a dietary option, but DELICIOUS!

Cooking

So, the cottage cheese must be frozen in the freezer. Next, boil water in a saucepan and throw frozen cottage cheese into it. Boil for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

I expected the cottage cheese to boil. It didn’t even boil for me in these 15 minutes (the cottage cheese was frozen and therefore sharply reduced the temperature of the boiling water. This, probably, is some kind of secret).
Next, the resulting cheese mixture must be filtered through gauze, squeezed well.

Pour the cheese back into the saucepan, add oil, salt, soda and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.

After 5 minutes, a very tight cheese mass melted in me, in which the spoon rotated very tightly, so I stopped further melting of cheese. Everything here, perhaps, will depend on the cheese itself and smelting must be regulated individually.

We shift the hot melted mass into a mold or form a sausage by wrapping cellophane in food.

Refrigerate for 1 hour and cut into pieces.

Bon appetit!
