    1. Pour the milk into a saucepan and set it over medium heat. Stirring constantly, add the salt and bring it to a boil. 2. As soon as it boils, add the kefir and stir until the mixture curdles. Pour this mixture into a cheesecloth-lined colander, then hang it in the cheesecloth over the sink for 15 minutes to let the whey drain off. 3. Beat the egg with a little citric acid until well blended. Add the drained curds to the beaten egg and beat again until you have a smooth, fluffy spread. Your Philadelphia-style cream cheese is ready.
