Simple and Delicious: Homemade Feta Cheese with Just 3 Ingredients!

1. Heat the Milk: Pour the milk into a large saucepan and heat it over medium heat until it reaches a temperature of around 180°F (82°C). Stir the milk occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
2. Add the Acid: Once the milk reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the heat and slowly stir in the lemon juice or vinegar. You’ll start to see the milk curdle and separate into curds and whey.
3. Strain the Curds: Line a colander with cheesecloth and place it over a large bowl or sink. Carefully pour the curdled milk through the cheesecloth, allowing the whey to drain away. Gather the corners of the cheesecloth and gently squeeze out any excess liquid.
4. Press and Salt the Cheese: Transfer the drained curds to a clean bowl and mix in the salt, adjusting to taste. If you prefer a saltier cheese, you can add more salt. Press the curds into a mold or container lined with cheesecloth, cover, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
5. Enjoy Your Homemade Feta Cheese: Once the cheese has chilled and set, it’s ready to enjoy! Serve it crumbled over salads, roasted vegetables, or pasta dishes, or simply enjoy it on its own as a delicious snack.

With just three simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create your own creamy and flavorful feta cheese that’s perfect for adding a touch of indulgence to your favorite dishes. Give this easy recipe a try and discover the satisfaction of homemade cheese!
