Homemade Queso Blanco: How To Make Fresh White Cheese
Making queso blanco is not unlike making other non-aged cheeses such as paneer or feta. It requires the least amount of equipment and ingredients, and is one of the best ways to receive immediate cheesemaking gratification.
The Homesick Texas shares a straightforward recipe for queso blanco. This “white cheese” is great sprinkled over spicy black beans or a burrito, and we love their idea of adding chiles or spices. (Full recipe after the jump).
“Enter queso blanco. This simple cheese doesn’t call for those other ingredients. And while the end result may not be as creamy as Brie, as smoky as Gouda or as nutty as Manchego—the end result is still recognizably cheese and a darn tasty one at that.
Now, queso blanco won’t melt, but you can slice it and fry it in your skillet, crumble it into your refried beans, wrap bacon around it and bake it, spread it on crusty bread or toss it with some vegetables and salsa. Because it’s not aged, it has a neutral flavor like mozzarella, but I like to add herbs, spices and chiles to punch it up a bit.”
