September 23, 2008 – 7:49 pm
Want to try a Tapas or appetizer hat is really special? Well make you own cheese!
It’s easy and takes less time than what you think . It took us less that 40 minutes to go from milk to cheese and it was fun! We Rolled our mozzarella with prosciutto, but you can try it with ham, turkey or use spinach leaves with some oil salt and pepper to make it vegetarian.
If you have a loved one who is allergic to cows milk try making it with goat or sheep milk. If you have access to fresh milk even better!
Ingredients: (for 1 rolled mozzarella)
1 measure whey ( can be bought by mail order or in specialty and health food stores)
1 Qt milk
1/4 pound sliced prosciutto
Follow instructions on the package for the cheese, form ball of cheese, stretch it out to about 1/2 inch thickness and place the prosciutto slices on top. Roll to a cylinder , wrap with plastic cover and let cool in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Slice and serve with blue cheese , crostini, and wine.
Enjoy!
