PROCESSED CHEESE in 15 MINUTES! Revealing the cause of failure, an ingredient that no one talks about
Hello, dear readers of the "Cooking with Natalia Kalinina" channel! I greet my regular guests, as well as all those who came to see me for the first time!
Today I am sharing a recipe for Processed Cheese in 15 minutes and I will reveal the secret. Why doesn't cheese work, even from natural cottage cheese? You do everything according to the recipe, but the cottage cheese does not melt, or if it melts, then the finished cheese gives off soda.
***************************
Recipe:
Cottage cheese -400gr.
Egg -1pc.
Butter -80g.
Salt -1 / 2 tsp.
Sugar -1 / 2 tsp
Soda -1 / 2 tsp.
Citric acid -1 / 4 tsp.
For filling:
Dill greens - to taste
COOKING METHOD
Put 400 gr of cottage cheese in a bowl, you already know that it should be natural. The fatter the cottage cheese, the softer and tastier the cheese will be.
We break 1 egg, add half a tsp. salt, half a tsp. sugar and be sure to ½ tsp. soda.
Now for the important point.
If the cottage cheese is not sour or not acidic enough, the soda will not be quenched with cottage cheese and as a result, the cottage cheese will not melt when heated, and if not acidic enough, the finished processed cheese will give off with soda. To avoid this situation, you need to add citric acid to the curd ¼ tsp. and add butter.Now the soda will start to be extinguished, the curd should become airy. We put the cottage cheese in a refractory pan in a water bath and cook while stirring until the cottage cheese melts.
It takes me about 8-10 minutes. Now when the cheese is ready, you can add the filling of your choice, fresh dill or pre-fried mushrooms for example. Mix and immediately remove from heat.
Pour into a storage container and refrigerate until cool. Now, when the cheese is completely cooled, we take it out and taste it. Conveniently, you can use different fillings every time and get a new taste.
