Zubereitung von Fromage Blanc Farmer's Cheese
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, gently heat 4 cups of whole milk to 175°F (85°C), stirring frequently to prevent scorching or a skin from forming. Do not let it boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of buttermilk and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. If the milk doesn't begin to curdle within 30 seconds, add another teaspoon of lemon juice.
- Let the mixture stand undisturbed for 10 minutes. While it sits, line a fine-mesh strainer with four layers of cheesecloth.
- Carefully pour the curdled milk (curds and whey) into the cheesecloth-lined strainer. Let it drain for 5 minutes.
- Gather the cheesecloth and tie it securely with kitchen twine. Hang the bundle over a bowl or pot to drain for at least 30 minutes (longer for a firmer cheese).
- Once drained, carefully snip open the cheesecloth and gently remove the Fromage Blanc.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt (or to taste) and mix gently. For a prettier presentation, press the cheese into small ramekins or molds (mini quiche tins work well). You can line these with cheesecloth for easier removal.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight for best results. If serving immediately, cover with plastic wrap.
- To serve, unmold the cheese onto a plate. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper or chopped fresh herbs. Serve with crackers, bread, or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
