Processed cheese recipe from Alla Kovalchuk. Homemade processed cheese is an economical option (from practically nothing). Curd marshmallows from Alla Kovalchuk

When I came across this recipe for processed cheese, I smiled skeptically: “Of course! Cheese - without milk, butter, eggs! A parody, not cheese! Nothing good can come out of this in principle! That's what I always make - cheese! “But the new recipe haunted me, and I decided: “Even if I spoil a little cottage cheese, I must know the truth!” I’ll make half a batch and see what happens.” But the truth turned out to be amazing for me - the cheese turned out! What a great one! It may be a dietary option, but it’s DELICIOUS!

Preparation
So, the cottage cheese needs to be frozen in the freezer. Next, boil water in a saucepan and add frozen cottage cheese. Boil for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.


I expected the cottage cheese to boil. For me it didn’t even boil in those 15 minutes (the cottage cheese was frozen and therefore I sharply reduced the temperature of the boiling water. This is probably some kind of secret).
Next, the resulting cheese mixture must be strained through cheesecloth and squeezed well.


Pour the cheese back into the saucepan, add oil, salt, soda and simmer over low heat, stirring, for 15 minutes.


Within 5 minutes I had a very tight cheese mass melted, in which the spoon rotated very tightly, so I stopped further melting the cheese. Here everything, perhaps, will depend on the cheese itself and the melting process must be regulated individually.


We transfer the hot melted mass into a mold or form a sausage, wrapping it in cellophane.


Cool for 1 hour and you can cut into pieces.


Bon appetit!

Homemade cheese melted from cottage cheese is a healthy product for breakfast, with ham, paprika, dill - processed cheese recipes are very easy to prepare.

  • cottage cheese - 0.5 kg;
  • soda - 0.5 teaspoon;
  • salt - 1 teaspoon;
  • chicken egg - 1 pc.

Pour water into the pan (about 1/3) and put it on fire. You also need to choose a smaller metal bowl or saucepan; we will cook the melted cheese in a steam bath.

Grind the cottage cheese, salt, soda and egg well in a blender.

You will get a pleasant, “fluffy”, homogeneous curd mass without lumps.

Next, transfer the curd mass into a metal bowl and remove the pan of boiling water from the heat. Place the bowl on the pan and return the pan with the bowl to the heat. Water should not touch the bowl. We built a water bath, or rather a steam bath.

We constantly stir our curd mass and it melts before our eyes and turns into melted cheese, the consistency of hot custard. It will take about 7 minutes for the cottage cheese to melt completely.

If the cottage cheese is very watery, keep the cheese in a steam bath a little longer to let the excess liquid evaporate. Then everything is simple, remove the pan from the heat, you can cool a little cheese in a spoon and taste, add salt if necessary. Pour the cheese into a bowl or container and cool slightly. As it cools, a film forms on the surface of the cheese, which easily disappears when stirred. Stir the cheese at room temperature, cover with a lid or cling film. Place in the refrigerator until completely cooled.

Recipe 2: Homemade melted cheese

  • butter - 100 g
  • milk - 1 l
  • soda - 1 tsp.
  • cottage cheese - 1000 gr
  • salt - 1 tsp.
  • chicken eggs - 2 pcs

Recipe 3: homemade processed cheese from cottage cheese (with photo)

Cheese goes well with any bread, and with various grain breads, and with tartlets.

  • cottage cheese - 0.5 kg
  • egg – 1 pc.
  • butter – 100 g
  • salt – 0.5 -1 teaspoon
  • baking soda – 0.5 tsp.
  • spoons any spices/dried herbs - to taste

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and stir.

In a larger saucepan, bring water to a boil and place a small saucepan on top of it, creating a “water bath.” Cook the mixture like this, stirring constantly, for 15-20 minutes. Everything should melt and dissolve thoroughly.

After removing the pan from the water bath, pour the contents into a blender and beat the mass until it becomes perfectly homogeneous and there are no lumps of cottage cheese.

Then transfer the whipped mass back into the pan and add dried parsley and dried dill. In general, you can make any addition to cheese: spices, mushrooms, ham, etc.

At this stage, the mixture had already begun to cool, became more viscous and stopped sticking to the walls of the dish.

Grease a bowl with butter and place the cheese mixture into it.

Immediately cover with cling film and leave to cool to room temperature. After this, put it in the refrigerator overnight.

Recipe 4: cheese melted at home from cottage cheese

  • egg - 1 pc. (I have a choice);
  • cottage cheese - 500 g (I have 9%);
  • sour cream 20% - 2 tbsp. l.;
  • salt - 1 tsp. (without slide);
  • soda - 1 tsp. (without slide);
  • fresh dill - a couple of sprigs.

Prepare food. Wash and dry the dill.

Recipe 5: homemade processed cheese (step-by-step photos)

  • Cottage cheese of any fat content - 450-500 g (two packages of 180 g each)
  • Large egg - 1 pc.
  • Butter - 100 g.
  • Salt - to taste (I used a pinch, 1/3 teaspoon)
  • Baking soda - 1 teaspoon
  • Dried seasonings, herbs (you can use herbs de Provence, dried garlic, etc.) - to taste, I used 1 tbsp. heaped spoon

The mixing of cottage cheese with the rest of the ingredients happens so quickly that it is better to immediately put water in a saucepan for a steam bath. Fill 2/3 of the ladle and boil.

Place the cottage cheese (both packs) into a large bowl in which it will be convenient for us to stir. butter (100 g), cut into small cubes, 1 egg. Mix everything thoroughly.

Add baking soda (1 teaspoon) to the cheese mixture. You can add baking soda before mixing.


We use a “knife” (immersion) blender attachment to turn the mixture into a homogeneous one.

Place the bowl with the mixed contents in a water bath. Set the fire to medium. We take a spatula in our hands and constantly stir the mixture.

After a few minutes, you will notice how the curd mass begins to melt, strings will appear when you lift the spatula - signs of melting of the curd.

We continue to vigorously stir the cheese mixture, trying to dissolve absolutely all grains, even the smallest ones. The mixture will become more and more homogeneous, viscous, and shiny. Once all the lumps have dispersed, remove the bowl from the water bath and set aside.

Now your favorite seasonings and salt are used.

Supplement options vary and depend entirely on your taste! For example, you can add fresh chopped herbs and garlic, you can season the cheese with chopped olives or vegetables.

Stir the mixture and pour into molds.

Cover the processed cheese with cling film so that it does not become covered with a thickened crust on top. In a few hours, the processed cottage cheese will be completely ready. This is how easy it is to prepare a delicious delicacy at home.

Recipe 6: how to make homemade processed cheese with paprika

  • Cottage cheese – 300 gr
  • Egg yolks - 2 pcs
  • Butter - 50 g
  • Salt - chips.
  • Soda - 0.5 tsp.

Fillers

  • Bacon, servilat, salami – 30 g
  • sweet paprika
  • dill and sour cucumber
  • olives
  • anchovies
  • capers
  • dried mushrooms (powder)
  • dried garlic
  • roasted nuts
  • basil

In a saucepan with a thick bottom, combine cottage cheese, egg, butter, add soda. Mix, or better yet, beat with an immersion blender.

Place on low heat, stirring constantly. The cottage cheese should melt. The process will take 10-15 minutes, all lumps of cottage cheese should melt!

Add salt to taste. At the very end, the whole mass can be punched again with a blender. But the cheese turns out great even without a blender!!! If you do not use a blender, then at the initial stage mix the cottage cheese and egg thoroughly so that the eggs do not curdle.

When hot, the cheese is liquid, but as it cools it becomes dense and spreads well.

Add your favorite filling to the finished cheese, there is room for imagination.

Pour the cheese into a container, cover with a lid or film and let cool. Add little filling, only 20-40 grams per serving. The filling should not dominate, but only add flavor to the cheese.

Recipe 7: simple cheese melted from cottage cheese (with photos step by step)

  • Cottage cheese – 0.5 kg
  • Soda – 1 teaspoon
  • Salt, spices, herbs - to taste

You need to take two pans of different diameters; the cheese will be cooked in a water bath. To do this, fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to boil.

Pour cottage cheese and soda into a second, smaller saucepan. For cooking, we use homemade cottage cheese from the market; we first freeze it (to kill or weaken all possible harmful microorganisms).

Using a fork, mash the cottage cheese well in a saucepan so that there are no lumps and that it mixes well with the soda.

When the water in a large saucepan boils, reduce the heat and place your saucepan with cottage cheese mixed with soda in a water bath.

In just a minute, the cottage cheese in the saucepan will begin to melt, become liquid and more homogeneous. Stir it constantly so that it does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
