Prepare a double boiler by filling a pan with water about a third of the way up.

Place the pan of water on the stove and bring it to a slight simmer.

Pour 4 cups of milk into a bowl and set it on top of the simmering water to warm it up.

Crack 12 extra large eggs into a bowl, one at a time, and whisk them together.

Add 0.5 teaspoons of salt to the eggs and mix well.

Slowly pour the egg mixture into the warm milk while continuously whisking.

Continue to cook the mixture over the double boiler, stirring gently to avoid scrambling.

Cook for about 7-8 minutes until the mixture thickens and resembles soft scrambled eggs.

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Wrap the egg mixture in cheesecloth and squeeze out excess water.

Let the wrapped mixture set for several hours until it solidifies into a cheese-like consistency.
