Homemade Cheese with Egg and Milk: A Simple Delicacy

—

## Instructions

### 1. Heat the Milk
In a saucepan, slowly heat the **milk** over medium heat until it begins to steam — but don’t let it boil. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.

### 2. Beat the Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk the **eggs** with the **salt** until smooth.

### 3. Combine
Once the milk is hot (but not boiling), slowly pour in the egg mixture while stirring gently and continuously. Keep the heat medium-low.

### 4. Curdle the Cheese
As you stir, you’ll notice the mixture beginning to separate — the curds will form, and a clear-ish liquid (whey) will separate. This process usually takes **3–5 minutes**. Keep stirring gently until fully curdled.

### 5. Strain
Line a colander or sieve with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and place it over a bowl. Pour the mixture into the cloth to drain the whey. Let it sit for about **30 minutes**, or until it reaches your desired firmness.

### 6. Chill and Serve
Transfer the cheese into a container or mold if you’d like a shaped finish. Chill in the fridge before serving. It will firm up more as it cools.
