Cream cheese
Description
To make good cheese, the cottage cheese should not be too fatty, but neither should it be dry. Butter, eggs, and milk are also used in cheese preparation.

Step 1
1. Pour milk into a saucepan, add the cottage cheese, and begin heating. When the milk starts to boil, cook for seven to ten minutes, stirring occasionally. The cottage cheese will begin to stretch slightly and melt a little, especially if it was dry and low-fat.

2. Then drain the cooked mass onto a colander previously lined with cheesecloth. Allow the liquid to drain off. The mass should feel similar to stretchy, soft modeling clay. The liquid will drain from this cooked cottage cheese in about two to three minutes. To speed up the process, you can squeeze the cheese mass by hand.

3. In a separate container, necessarily non-enamel and with a thick bottom, mix the drained cottage cheese, baking soda, salt, butter, and eggs. Mix everything thoroughly.

4. To avoid damaging the cookware, you must continuously stir. Constant stirring helps the cheese melt better. When the mixture starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, the cheese is ready. Transfer the cheese mixture onto a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and chill to cool.
