Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 2 Egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, warm the cottage cheese over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft and spreadable. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and use an immersion blender or food processor to blend the cottage cheese until it is smooth and creamy.
Return the cheese mixture to the saucepan and place it over low heat. Stir in the whole milk, combining thoroughly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, flour, and white vinegar until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the warmed cheese, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.
Add the butter and salt to the saucepan, continuing to stir as the mixture thickens. This should take about 10-12 minutes. Be patient and keep stirring to ensure an even consistency.
Once thickened and glossy, remove the cheese from heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the cheese to a serving bowl or airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cheese to firm up slightly. Serve chilled or at room temperature with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables.
