  2. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the vinegar, stirring gently until the milk curdles.
  3. Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes until the curds and whey separate.
  4. Strain the curds through a cheesecloth or a fine-mesh sieve and press out as much liquid as possible.
  5. Transfer the curds to a mixing bowl and add the salt, egg, and flour.
  6. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  7. Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
  8. Shape the cheese mixture into small patties, a thin sheet on the bottom or balls and place them on the skillet.

  10. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Tips and Tricks

Make sure to press out as much liquid as possible from the curds before adding the other ingredients to prevent the cheese from falling apart during cooking.
Use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet to prevent the cheese from sticking.
