Homemade Cheese with Dill
Description
The appetizer is prepared quickly and easily. Cheese with dill is very simple to make and does not require special culinary skills. The result is a tasty and healthy product with a buttery texture and tender consistency. The richer the milk and sour cream, the greater the cheese yield. I ended up with a piece weighing 300 grams. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
