Hrudka is a creamy custard cheese staple for Eastern-European Easter meals. Enjoy it sliced on its own or in a sandwich with ham or kolbassi on paska bread with beet horseradish. A simple and nutritious recipe.
Ingredients:
12eggs
1quartwhole milk
1cupwhite sugar
1teaspoonground cinnamon, or to taste
Instructions:
In a large saucepan, vigorously whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Cook over low to medium-low heat, stirring constantly for 20 to 30 minutes until curds form and whey separates. Avoid high heat and remember to keep stirring to avoid sweet scrambled eggs.
Drain the mixture into a cheesecloth-lined colander, shape into a ball, twist to remove excess moisture, secure with a twist tie, and let hang for 8 hours to overnight.
