Notes, tips, and variations

  • Farmer’s cheese is similar to a dry-curd cottage cheese and is unavailable outside predominately Eastern European and Jewish areas. Dry-curd cottage cheese is a sub-par substitution, and must be drained of all excess liquid if it is to be used.
  • If the farmer’s cheese is unsalted, add 1 tsp salt.
