Syrek(Slovak Easter Cheese) - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
6 eggs
1 qt. milk
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. sugar (more if desired)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Preparation
-
Pour milk into saucepan and break eggs into milk, making sure each yolk is broken.
Add salt, sugar and vanilla and mix.
Do not cook over direct flame, since this mixture scorches easily.
Use a double boiler, have low heat and stir frequently.
Cook slowly until mixture looks like scrambled eggs.
Pour mixture into cheesecloth and tie tightly.
Hang and let drain for about 1 hour. Gently squeeze cheesecloth bag to remove any excess liquid and hang for about 3 hours.
Remove cheese from bag and refrigerate until cool.
Decorate with cloves or pepper balls.
