HOMEMADE FRESH CHEESE

Steps:

• Pour the milk into a large pot, and heat until the temperature reaches 195 degrees F (90 degrees C), or almost boiling. Stir constantly to prevent scorching on the bottom of the pot. When the milk reaches the temperature, remove from the heat, and stir in the vinegar. Let stand for 10 minutes.
• Line a strainer with cheesecloth, and set over the sink or a large pot or bowl. The milk should separate into a white solid part, and a yellowish liquid (whey). Stir the salt into the milk, then pour through the cloth-lined strainer. Let the curds continue to drain in the strainer for 1 hour. Discard the whey.
• After the cheese has finished draining, pat into a ball, and remove from the cheese cloth. Wrap in plastic and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Fresh cheese will usually last about a week.

CHEESY CHIVE BLOSSOM OMELET

Steps:

• Whisk together eggs, water, salt, pepper and parsley.
• Melt the butter in a 10" omelet pan(or skillet) just until butter sizzles not letting it brown.
• Pour in egg mixture, shaking the pan quickly. With the flat side of a fork, stir eggs and move and tilt pan in a circular motion until eggs begin to set.
• Sprinkle chive florets and cheese down the center; allow cheese to melt slightly, then fold omelet over and serve immediately.
• Garnish with whole chive blossoms.
