Any Home Bakers Here?

I'm hoping DH likes the frittata as much as I do. He forgot to take some for lunch, so he hasn't tried it yet. If he likes it, it might be a way to convince him that we *need* more chickens, because it does take a lot of eggs. I can grow most of the ingredients, so it would be a good meal to have in our rotation.

I like to make mine with hot breakfast sausage, onions, mushrooms, potatoes, something green, Jalapeno and mexican cheese blend. I serve it with salsa on top.

Bakers good morning one and all!

The temperature is 68 and mostly sunny.

Have a great day!

Decided to take an extra precaution on the fromage blanc. Draining it in a pot so if the cheese cloth breaks again, I can still save the cheese.

That's how I feel about needing more chickens. One of my cake recipes calls for 10 eggs! We don't eat many eggs just plain.. mainly bake with them. Any excuse to have more chickens!

Good idea!

Do you ever use butter muslin? I've seen that mentioned several times related to making cheese.

When I drain my yogurt, I use nylon mesh bags that they sell for storing vegetables in the fridge. They're nice and strong. I hang them by the drawstring top over a big pot, and it works very well.

Is there a difference between butter muslin and cheesecloth? I’m just curious.

By the way, Queso Blanco is done.

It looks a little sloppy, but it’s my first time making this type of cheese.

@jnicholes Have you looked into ways to use the whey instead of just letting it go down the sink drain?

this website has some suggestions: https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/2011/06/16-ways-to-use-your-whey.html
