Ditch the Deli! 3-Ingredient Cheese Made with Eggs (Yes, You Read That Right!) pen_spark

This recipe is sure to turn heads: creamy, delicious cheese made with just three ingredients? You won’t believe it until you try it!

Ingredients:

• 2 liters (about 8 cups) whole milk
• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (or white vinegar)
• Pinch of salt (optional)

Method:

1. Heat Up the Milk: In a large pot, heat the milk over medium heat until it simmers gently. Don’t let it boil over!

2. Whisk It Up: While the milk heats, whisk the eggs together in a separate bowl.

3. The Curd is the Word: Slowly drizzle the egg mixture into the hot milk, whisking constantly. You’ll see the milk begin to curdle.

4. Lemon Power: Once the milk has curdled completely, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lemon juice (or vinegar). The curds will separate further from the whey (liquid).

5. Let it Settle: Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, allowing the curds to rise to the surface.

6. Strain and Save: Line a colander with cheesecloth and set it over a large bowl. Carefully pour the mixture through the cheesecloth, separating the curds from the whey.

7. Shape Up: Gently gather the cheesecloth around the curds, squeezing out any excess whey. You can shape the cheese into a ball or log, depending on your preference.

8. Chill Out: Place the cheese in a clean bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a firmer texture.

Enjoy! This homemade cheese is delicious on its own, crumbled over salads, or melted onto sandwiches.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk.
• You can add a pinch of salt to the cheese curds before shaping for extra taste.
• This cheese will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
