Ingredients

Milk - 1 qt
Kefir - 1 qt
Chicken Egg - 6 pieces
Salt - to taste
Mild Chili Spice - ⅓ spoons
Garlic - 1 clove
Ground Cumin - a pinch
Dill - to taste
Cilantro - to taste
Scallions - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Pour the milk and kefir into a pot and place it on the stove. Without bringing it to a boil, slowly drizzle in the lightly beaten eggs mixed with salt into the hot milk-kefir mixture. Bring to a boil and cook this mixture, stirring, over low heat for a few minutes until the whey separates.

Step 2

Remove from heat, let it cool for 1–2 minutes, and add finely chopped herbs and red pepper, then squeeze in a clove of garlic (or any seasoning you prefer).

Step 3

Pour the mixture into a sieve lined with two layers of cheesecloth. Smooth the cheese mixture with a spoon.

Step 4

Tie the cheesecloth in a knot and allow the whey to drain. Then, unwrap the cheesecloth, cover the formed round cheese with the edge of the cloth, place a small plate on top, and put some weight on the plate (for example, a jar filled with water and covered with a lid will work).
