Processed cheese
Description
This appetizer is quick and easy to prepare. We offer you a recipe for homemade processed cheese that our great-grandmothers used to make. The combination of cottage cheese, butter, milk, and eggs yields a tasty and nutritious product rich in vitamins A, D, and E. It is ideal for a snack at any time of day. Processed cheese owes its appearance to the Swiss. At the beginning of the last century, in the city of Thun, there was an overproduction of hard cheese. There was no market for it. And to preserve at least something, the cheese was melted. Try this delicacy prepared at home as well. Serve with herbs and sauce.
