Categories     Cheese

Time 8h20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 pints reduced-fat milk
1 tablespoon white vinegar
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat milk to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
  • Stir in vinegar; remove from heat. The milk will separate into curds (solids) and whey (liquid).
  • Line larger colander with cheesecloth or muslin; place in sink. Pour curds and whey mixture into lined colander. Lift edges of cloth; swirl to remove excess liquid. Completely wrap curds in cloth; return to colander. Place large jar or similar filled with water on curds to press them down. Lease undisturbed for 5 to 6 hours.
  • Remove weight and remove cheese to cutting board; discard cheesecloth. Cut cheese into 1/2 inch cubes. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 12 hours.
  • Add cheese to pan sprayed with oil. Fry 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • Tightly cover and refrigerate cheese up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.
