Cottage style Cheese

This is a delicious cottage style cheese made in the Tefal Cuisine Companion using only 3 ingredients.  You can have it fresh spread on dry cracker biscuits or blend it smooth with a stick mixer or the new Tefal Mini Bowl to add to a bechamel sauce when making Lasagne or Cannelloni. I also use this cheese as a ricotta substitute. You can use this cheese in any recipe that requires cottage or ricotta cheese. The discarded whey is a great addition when baking bread or scones.
