- Preparation: 190 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (197 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free

Ingredients
- 120 g Milk, whole
- 60 g Eggs
- 8 g Sugar
- 0.3 g Salt
- 0.5 g Vanilla extract
- 8 g Raisins
Method
- Bring the milk to a simmer in a heavy pot with the salt, sugar and vanilla.
- Beat the eggs well in a bowl, then pour them into the simmering milk in a thin stream, stirring all the time.
- Keep cooking over low heat, stirring gently, for 5-8 minutes, until the mixture separates into soft yellow curds and thin whey.
- Stir in the raisins, then pour everything into a sieve lined with a clean, damp muslin cloth.
- Gather the corners of the cloth, twist them tight to squeeze out more whey and tie them. Hang the bundle over a bowl in a cool place for 3 hours, until the cheese is firm.
- Unwrap the round, chill it and cut it into slices. At Easter it is eaten with ham, boiled eggs and bread, its mild sweetness against the salty meat.
