In the mood for something savory? This homemade cheese may be just what you need.
1 serving. 10 oz of daily milk allowance.
Ingredients
10 oz whole milk (cow or goat)
1 oz ReaLemon or other zero-calorie lemon juice
Seasonings. We used Braggs Organic Sprinkle
Salt, to taste
Directions
Using a medium pot over medium heat, bring milk to a temperature of 180°F. If you don't have a food thermometer, this is when a slight film forms at the top of the milk.
Remove from heat and let stand for 3-5 minutes.
Gently stir in the lemon juice and let stand for another 3-5 minutes allowing the curds (milk solids) and the whey (yellow liquid) to separate.
Cover a bowl or line a colander with cheesecloth.
Pour the separated milk into the cheesecloth.
Allow it to drain for a few minutes.
Gently squeeze the cheesecloth to eliminate more of the whey.
Note, for a creamier consistency allow the cheese to remain fairly wet. For a drier, more crumbly consistency, squeeze out more whey.
Remove cheese from cheesecloth.
Season, as desired.
Serve warm or cold.
Enjoy!
