Cooking method
- Let about 2 cups (500 ml) of milk sit out until it sours. Whisk the soured milk together with 4 eggs until it's smooth, about the consistency of sour cream. Bring 2 quarts (2 liters) of fresh pasteurized milk (pasteurized is essential) to a boil. Lower the heat and, stirring, add the egg mixture. Keep stirring and wait until the liquid separates into whey and curds — this takes about 10 minutes. Pour it into a cheesecloth-lined colander and let the whey drain off. If you're adding pepper and dill, now's the time to chop them. Season the cheese curds with salt, stir in the dill and pepper, and mix. Pack the cheese into a suitable mold, set a weight on top, and leave it like that for about 10 hours. Then rub the hard cheese with salt, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 hours. That's it — your homemade hard cheese is ready to serve!
