Field to Table: Wholesome Cooking with Farmers’ Recipes
You can add a touch of savory to this recipe by replacing the egg mixture with a seasoned shredded potato or meat filling. Frozen hash browns or a quick homemade version made with grating your own potatoes work well in this recipe, but you could also use sliced or diced chicken or pork.
When making farmer’s cheese, it is important to use full-fat milk for best results. This will give the curds a richer flavor than low-fat milk, which has less fat and tends to curdle more quickly. You can also use raw milk if you feel comfortable using it.
Vinegar is traditionally used to curdle the milk, but other acidic liquids like citrus juice or apple cider vinegar will work as well. The key is to make sure the acid is strong enough to separate the curds from the whey, but not so strong that the curds become hard and dry. Salt is also important to draw out the whey and give the farmer’s cheese its characteristic salty taste.
