Homemade Oltermanni Cheese
Description
A tasty appetizer for any gathering. Let's make Oltermanni cheese at home. You'll need the following ingredients: milk, butter, cottage cheese, eggs, salt, and baking soda. The finished cheese turns out very tender and literally melts in your mouth. By the way, the whey left over from the cheese curd can be used for baking pancakes. Have a good day. Serve with herbs and sauce.
