My first Queso Blanco

[trey]

And possibly my first successful cheese!  After a few failed attempts at the 30 minute mozzarella, I wanted to try something else.  This seemed like a simple recipe. 

I enjoyed making this one.  I enjoyed the mozzarella too, but this seems like a success.  I added Spinach and Herb dip mix from Tastefully Simple.  I just wanted to see how it would  turn out. 

I haven't tried it yet.  I'm waiting for the wife to get home with some crackers.  And I'm a little scared to try it.   ;D

Congrats! A cheese for you.

[trey]

Thanks! It turned out good, but I should have added salt. I'll learn!

[Stinky]

Ohhhh yeah you have to add salt. To cheese. It's a must.

[trey]

I added some.  Maybe 2 tsp.  Clearly wasn't enough. 

[Stinky]

Well, now you know better. :)

Oh the learning curve :P
AC4U for trying ;D

Trey, it may be cheese-making heresy, but I would say it is not too late to increase the salt content. Soak it in brine for a few hours, wait 2-3 days for it to even out, and there you go. You could even dry-salt, followed by the wait. I did the latter with a Lancashire that I failed to get enough salt in, and was able to improve the cheese markedly -- and that cheese was already 6 weeks old. :)

A cheese for your first successful cheese - looks great! :-)

Thanks everyone!

I'm very happy with how it turned out.  It's gone already! 

Andy, I did salt it after, and the taste was much better.  I can wait for my next try!

I can wait for my next try!

A cheese for the cheese and the enthusiasm ;).
