Schmeirkase
Schmeirkase is a spreadable cheese similar to cream cheese, sometimes called “spread cheese” or “spoon cheese.”
Ingrediënten
- 1 quart milk raw if you can get it
- 1 quart boiling water
- 2 T. milk or to taste
- 2 T. cream or to taste
- ½ tsp. salt
Instructies
- Pour milk into an earthenware bowl or other nonreactive container; let stand in a warm place until thick and sour.
- (I put it in my oven with the oven light on. )
- When the milk has soured and is quite thick, pour boiling water over it.
- Let the mixture stand for several minutes and then pour into a large cheesecloth bag (use double layers); drain overnight or for about 12 hours.
- Beat well, adding milk, cream, and salt.
- The cheese should end up the consistency of thick apple butter.
Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Spread schmeirkase on toasted bagels or bread. You can also add spices such as caraway seeds, garlic, parsley, or chives and serve it with crackers or raw vegetables.
