Homemade Cheese
Description
Here is a simple recipe for making "Sirtaki" cheese at home. Whisk sour cream with eggs, then add the mixture to boiling milk and cook everything until it reaches the desired "cotton-like" consistency. Then press the cheese curd to remove excess liquid and place it under weight in the refrigerator for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the cheese is ready! Good luck. Serve with herbs and sauce.
