Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Drain mixture into a colander lined with several layers of cheesecloth. Use the cloth to shape into a ball and twist the top to remove excess moisture. Secure with a twist tie and hang for 8 hours to overnight.
Step 2
Crack eggs into a large saucepan and beat with a whisk. Whisk in milk, sugar, salt, and cinnamon until well combined. Cook over low to medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture fully forms curds and whey separates. This will take 20 to 30 minutes. Using higher heat or failing to stir will result in a big pan of sweet scrambled eggs.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
  • 1 quart whole milk
