Alton Brown made some cottage chesse from skim milk and like most stuff he does it looked really good so I tried it. You take a gallon of skim milk and heat it in a pot. When it gets to 120 degrees you pour in 3/4 cup of white vinegar and stir. The milk will curdle pretty quick but you leave it sit for an hour to get the most out of it. When it’s cool you pour it into a strainer lined with cheesecloth and rinse it under cold running water for several minutes. After that you break it up in a bowl, add half and half, a little salt, and eat.
It is good but it’s not worth the time and effort. It doesn’t actually taste like cottage cheese. What it does taste like is cheese that hasn’t been aged or a little like cheese curd.
I would have included a photo but I ate it all.
