Optional Add-Ins for Flavor:

  • Fresh herbs (like basil, thyme, or chives)
  • Black pepper or chili flakes
  • A drizzle of honey for a sweet touch

How to Make It

  1. Heat the Milk
    • In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it just starts to simmer (don’t let it boil). Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
  2. Add Acid & Curdle
    • Remove the pan from heat and slowly stir in the vinegar or lemon juice. Within seconds, the milk will start curdling and forming small cheese curds.
  3. Strain the Cheese
    • Pour the mixture through a cheesecloth or fine sieve to separate the curds from the whey. Let it drain for 1-2 minutes for a softer texture or longer for firmer cheese.
  4. Season & Serve
    • Transfer the fresh cheese to a bowl, add salt, and mix well. You can also stir in herbs or spices for extra flavor.

Ways to Enjoy Your Fresh Cheese

  • Spread it on toast or crackers for a quick snack.
  • Use it in salads for a fresh, creamy touch.
  • Stuff it into omelets or pasta for extra richness.
  • Make a dip by blending it with olive oil and garlic.
