GARLIC HERB CHEESE
Most cheeses are pretty hard to make at home. This recipe is so so easy, it will blow your mind. I love cheese and can’t live without it, so I am using my homemade Latvian cheese recipe as a base and adding some fresh herbs and garlic to it.
The results are incredible, creamy tangy cheese with so much flavour! This recipe makes 2 cheeses, or you can make 1 large one.
Ingredients
1,5 lt of full fat milk
500 gr of cottage cheese
3 egg yolks
100 gr of unsalted butter
pinch of salt ( to your taste)
2-3 cloves of raw garlic
Bunch of greens ( I used parsley and dill) chopped
Directions
Step 1 : Pour the milk in a large saucepan and then add the cottage cheese. Heat the mixture on a medium heat stirring frequently.
Step 2: After 5-7 minutes the milk and cheese will separate, creating yellow-green whey. Mix that through and then sieve it over a large bowl.
Step 3: Once it is drained return the mixture to the saucepan. Make sure to keep a little bit of that liquid.
Step 4 : Turn the heat on low and add the butter, then egg yolks, minced garlic, chopped herbs and salt and combine well.
Step 5 : Heat the mixture for about 7 minutes while constantly stirring. It will become thicker and smoother.
Step 6 : Place the cheesecloth on the flat surface, add your cheese and go around and tighten the cheese. To "tie" the cheese pull the corners of the cloth together and spin them until you get a parcel of cheese. I used a hairband to tighten it.
Step 7 : Place your cheese outside in the cold space or in the fridge to harden. After enjoy your cheese and eat with bread, beer or its own :)
