butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil offers a healthier fat option.

Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

Stir in lemon juice and reduce heat to low.

Cook for 5-10 minutes until curds form and separate from whey.

Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes to cool slightly.

Strain the curds through a cheesecloth or fine mesh sieve.

Rinse the curds under cold water to remove excess acidity.

Transfer the curds to a bowl and mix in salt to taste.

In a separate pan, melt butter over low heat and add any desired spices or herbs.

Pour the melted butter mixture over the cheese and mix gently.

Serve at room temperature or chilled, garnished with fresh herbs.
