  • Homemade Cheese Recipe

    Homemade Cheese Recipe

    Homemade Cheese Recipe

    Ingredients

    • Milk: 2 liters (8.5 cups), store-bought
    • Salt: 1 tablespoon
    • Eggs: 4 large
    • Yogurt: 200 grams (7 oz)

    Additional Ingredients for Serving:

    • 1 pepper, sliced
    • Your favorite bread
    • Greens (e.g., lettuce, spinach, arugula)

    Nutritional Information (Per 50 g Serving of Cheese)

    • Calories: 80
    • Protein: 5 g
    • Carbohydrates: 1 g
    • Sugars: 1 g
    • Fat: 6 g
    • Saturated Fat: 3 g
    • Cholesterol: 70 mg
    • Sodium: 220 mg
    • Calcium: 150 mg

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Step 1: Prepare the Setup

    1. Place a large casserole on the stove and set a glass jar inside the casserole to create a water bath. This method helps gently heat the milk without direct contact, preventing it from burning.
    2. Fill the casserole with water around the jar, ensuring the water level is high enough to surround the jar but not overflow into it.
    3. Turn on the stove and start heating the water over medium heat.

    Step 2: Heat the Milk

    1. Pour the 2 liters of milk into the glass jar placed inside the water bath.
    2. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the milk and stir gently to dissolve.
    3. Heat the milk until it is well warmed but not boiling, stirring occasionally. Aim for a temperature of about 45°C (113°F), which is warm enough to curdle the milk without scalding it.

    Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture

    1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the 4 eggs and 200 grams of yogurt until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This mixture will help the milk curdle and form cheese.

    Step 4: Curdling the Milk

    1. Slowly pour the egg and yogurt mixture into the warm milk, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking separately.
    2. Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. You will notice the milk starting to curdle and separate into curds (solid) and whey (liquid).
    3. Once the curds have formed and the whey is a pale yellow color, the cheese is ready to be strained.

    Step 5: Strain the Cheese

    1. Prepare a sieve or cheesecloth over a bowl. Cheesecloth works best as it allows the whey to drain while keeping the curds intact.
    2. Carefully pour the curdled milk mixture into the sieve to separate the curds from the whey. Allow the curds to sit in the sieve and drain for about 10 minutes.
    3. Transfer the curds to a container lined with cheesecloth, fold the cheesecloth over the top, and weigh it down with a small plate or weight to help remove excess moisture.
    4. Refrigerate the cheese overnight, covered, to allow it to firm up and develop flavor.

    Step 6: Prepare the Cheese

    1. After draining overnight, transfer the cheese to a plate. The cheese should be firm and set, making it easy to slice.
    2. If desired, you can season the cheese further with herbs, cracked pepper, or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.

    Step 7: Serve

    1. Slice the cheese and serve with your favorite bread, such as baguette, pita, or whole grain, along with sliced pepper and fresh greens like lettuce for a delicious and healthy snack or meal.
    2. Enjoy your fresh homemade cheese—perfect as a snack, in sandwiches, or alongside a crisp salad.

    Tips for Perfect Homemade Cheese

    • Use Fresh Milk: Use the freshest milk possible for the best flavor and texture. Avoid ultra-high temperature (UHT) processed milk, as it may not curdle properly.
    • Adjust the Salt: Feel free to adjust the amount of salt based on your taste preference or dietary needs.
    • Storing the Cheese: Store the cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For a longer shelf life, keep the cheese in a brine solution (saltwater) to maintain its freshness.

    This Homemade Cheese Recipe is a great way to enjoy fresh, healthy cheese that’s free from preservatives and artificial additives. With its soft texture and mild flavor, it’s versatile enough to be used in a variety of dishes or simply enjoyed on its own. Enjoy the process of making and savoring your very own homemade cheese!

  • Baked Oatmeal with Apple, Banana, and Walnuts

    Baked Oatmeal with Apple, Banana, and Walnuts

    Baked Oatmeal with Apple, Banana, and Walnuts

    No flour, no sugar! This easy-to-make, healthy baked oatmeal is a perfect breakfast choice to fuel your day while supporting weight loss goals. The combination of apples, bananas, and walnuts adds natural sweetness and crunch, while the oats provide fiber and energy. Plus, it’s a great option for those who are trying to eat clean but still enjoy a comforting meal.


    Ingredients:

    • 1 cup oatmeal
    • 1 glass of milk (you can use almond milk, oat milk, or any milk of your choice)
    • 1 apple, chopped into small pieces
    • 1 banana, sliced
    • 3 eggs
    • Vanillin sweetener (to taste)
    • 60g walnuts, chopped

    Directions:

    1. Prepare the Oats:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup of oatmeal and 1 glass of milk. Stir gently to ensure the oats are evenly coated with the milk.
    • Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb the milk, making them softer and helping them to cook more evenly during baking.

    2. Prepare the Fruits:

    • While the oats are soaking, chop the apple into small, bite-sized pieces.
    • Slice the banana into rounds, ensuring even slices for easy distribution in the mixture.

    3. Mix the Batter:

    • After the oats have had time to absorb the milk, add the chopped apple and sliced banana to the oatmeal mixture.
    • Crack 3 eggs into the bowl, which will help bind the ingredients together and add structure to the bake.
    • Add the vanillin sweetener to taste. This will provide a light, vanilla flavor without adding any sugar. Feel free to adjust the sweetness according to your preference. You can also opt for a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit if desired.
    • Mix everything well until the fruits, oats, eggs, and sweetener are fully combined into a smooth batter.

    4. Add the Nuts:

    • Stir in the chopped walnuts into the mixture. The walnuts will provide a nice crunch and some healthy fats. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter for a consistent texture.

    5. Bake:

    • Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F).
    • Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Then, pour the oatmeal mixture into the baking dish, spreading it out evenly across the bottom.
    • Bake for about 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time may vary slightly depending on the size of your baking dish, so keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t overcook or burn.

    6. Cool and Serve:

    • Once the oatmeal is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the baking dish.
    • Cut into squares or slices and serve as is, or for extra flavor, you can top it with a dollop of yogurt or drizzle with honey (though optional for added sweetness). This step adds a creamy contrast and enhances the flavor of the baked oatmeal.

    Tips & Variations:

    • Add-ins: Feel free to mix in other ingredients such as dried fruits, raisins, or a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to elevate the flavor even more.
    • Make it Vegan: To make this recipe plant-based, substitute the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water = 1 egg) and use plant-based milk.
    • No Walnuts? You can swap walnuts with other nuts like almonds, pecans, or even seeds like chia or pumpkin seeds for added crunch and nutrition.
    • Make it Gluten-Free: Ensure that the oatmeal you use is labeled gluten-free if you have dietary restrictions.
    • Meal Prep: This recipe is great for meal prep! Make a batch at the beginning of the week and enjoy it throughout the week for a quick breakfast or snack. It can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

    Benefits of Baked Oatmeal with Apple, Banana, and Walnuts:

    This recipe offers several health benefits:

    • High in fiber: Oats provide a good amount of soluble fiber, which can help regulate digestion and lower cholesterol levels.
    • Rich in healthy fats: Walnuts are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain health and reduce inflammation.
    • Natural sweetness: The banana and apple provide natural sugars, making this dish a healthier alternative to sugary cereals or baked goods.
    • Protein-packed: Eggs provide high-quality protein, helping to keep you feeling full for longer and aiding muscle repair.

  • Homemade Canned Apple Pie Filling

    Homemade Canned Apple Pie Filling

    Homemade Canned Apple Pie Filling ✨

    Nothing beats the warm, comforting aroma of apple pie baking in the oven. But what if you could enjoy that sweet, cinnamon-spiced filling whenever you want? That’s where homemade canned apple pie filling comes in! With just a few ingredients, you can bottle up the taste of autumn, ready to use anytime you need a quick and delicious dessert fix. This recipe is perfect for preserving the flavors of fresh apples, so you can have pie filling on hand all year long.

    Ingredients:

    • 6 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (about 6-7 medium apples)
    • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup cornstarch
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 2 cups water
    • 1/2 cup lemon juice (fresh or bottled)

    Instructions:

    Step 1: Prepare the Apples

    Start by peeling, coring, and slicing the apples into even pieces. For the best texture, try to cut the apples about 1/4-inch thick. As you slice them, toss the apples in lemon juice to prevent browning and to keep them looking fresh and vibrant.

    Step 2: Make the Syrup

    In a large saucepan, combine the granulated sugarcornstarchcinnamonnutmeg, and salt. These dry ingredients will form the base of your syrup. Next, add in the water and whisk everything together until smooth. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Once the syrup has thickened to a nice consistency, usually within 3-4 minutes, it’s time to add the apples.

    Step 3: Add the Apples

    Stir the sliced apples into the thickened syrup. Continue to simmer the apple mixture for about 5 minutes, allowing the apples to soften slightly but still hold their shape. The syrup should coat the apples, creating a thick, sweet filling perfect for pies or other desserts.

    Step 4: Can the Filling

    Now, it’s time to fill your jars! Start by sterilizing the canning jars in a hot water bath or by placing them in the oven on low heat to kill any bacteria. Once the jars are sterilized and hot, ladle the hot apple filling into the jars, leaving about 1/2-inch headspace at the top. This ensures that the jars seal properly. Wipe the rims of the jars clean to ensure a good seal, then top with the lids and screw on the rings.

    Step 5: Process the Jars

    Place the filled jars in a large pot of boiling water, making sure the water covers the jars by at least an inch. Boil the jars for 20 minutes to process them. This step ensures that the filling is sealed safely and can be stored for long periods without spoiling.

    Step 6: Store and Use

    Once the jars are processed, carefully remove them from the water and let them cool completely. You should hear a satisfying “pop” as the jars seal. Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to a year. When you’re ready to use your apple pie filling, simply open a jar and use it for pies, crisps, or as a sweet topping for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream!

    Prep Time: 15 minutes

    Cook Time: 25 minutes

    Total Time: 40 minutes

    Servings: Makes 3-4 pints

    Tips for Success:

    • Apple Variety: Choose a tart apple variety like Granny Smith or a blend of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor and texture. Avoid using apples that are too soft, as they may turn mushy during canning.
    • Adjust Sweetness: Depending on the sweetness of your apples, you can adjust the amount of sugar to your liking.
    • Canning Equipment: Make sure to use proper canning equipment to ensure safety. A water bath canner is a great tool for processing jars, and it will help preserve your apple pie filling for up to a year.

    Conclusion:

    Homemade canned apple pie filling is a fantastic way to preserve the flavors of fresh apples. This simple recipe lets you enjoy that warm, comforting taste of apple pie any time you want, without the need for a whole pie-making process. Whether you’re using it for a quick dessert or gifting it to a friend, this apple pie filling will become a pantry staple in no time.
