Homemade processed cheese

In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, melted butter, salt, citric acid, and baking soda.

Mix all ingredients thoroughly until smooth. You can use a blender for better results.

Transfer the mixture to a heavy-bottomed pot.

Place the pot over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mass becomes smooth and stretchy, approximately 10-15 minutes. It is important not to let the cheese burn.

Remove the pot from the heat.

Pour the finished processed cheese into a mold or container.

Let the cheese cool to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
