But that was not the case, everything did not go as smoothly as I would like, my cheese did not turn out the first time.
But now I understand that it’s even good that the first pancake turned out to be lumpy, because now I know 100% how to make processed cheese at home, I know the secret that my mother and I discovered on our own, and no one would have divulged it to us.

Homemade processed cheese "Yantar"
Which sandwich cheese you can’t take it off the store shelf, regardless of the price, the composition will scare you at worst, and confuse you with a lot of incomprehensible words at best. And homemade cheese - here it is, made from natural curd (you can melt it yourself from farm kefir), plus soda, which your mother used to bake cookies for you when you were a child... Just a wonderful product: you can spread such homemade cheese on a bun for children at school, and in cheese soup add. And how your husband will appreciate it! In general, the recipe is simple - read, memorize and cook!
You need:
- 500 g of cottage cheese (fermented milk, without “chemistry” - this is important),
- 1 teaspoon of soda,
- a pinch of salt
- 0.5 teaspoon of “Provencal” or “Italian herbs”.
Amber type cheese recipe step by step
Prepare cottage cheese (in this case it was heated at home using kefir). The cheese should not be too watery, so before “melting” it hung in a metal sieve for about 20 minutes to allow the whey to drain. 
Now build a device for a water bath. As a rule, two pans are taken: one larger, the other smaller. Water is poured into the first one, and another pan is placed in this water. Place the cheese in a second saucepan, rubbing it a little with a spoon to remove any lumps. Add soda. 
Place the pots on the fire. When the water in the lower container boils, the curd will begin to melt. Don’t go far, stir it - and at the same time, keep an eye on whether everything is fine with it and whether there are any lumps left in the cheese. If you have already boiled homemade “Yantar” for about 10 minutes, but grains and grains of cottage cheese are still present in it, add another pinch of soda. 
The processed cheese should have approximately this consistency. 
When the cheese seems homogeneous to you, that is, it reaches the desired melted consistency, add salt to it and add aromatic herbs.
That’s it, now you can remove it from the water bath and quickly (it will immediately begin to harden) transfer it to the prepared tray.
Well, when it has cooled down completely, take the tray into the refrigerator - there it can be stored for up to five days... If it “lives” that long, of course.
This is not only great option for sandwiches, but also a whole field for experiments. Yes, for example, instead of “Italian herbs” you can add to the cheese: pieces of red hot pepper(fresh or dried); dill, salt and garlic; mushrooms fried with onions; finely chopped ham... But this cheese is not very suitable for baking - it melts too quickly, and instead of an appetizing crust, it burns (unless you add it five minutes before the dish is ready).
Good luck! And have some delicious sandwiches!
Homemade processed cheese is very easy to prepare, the main thing is to prepare it from high-quality (real) cottage cheese. Delicious, beautiful, healthy, real processed cheese made from cottage cheese.
To make processed cheese I buy homemade cottage cheese on the market. Cottage cheese should not be sour, of any fat content. Cottage cheese that has been frozen will also work. Making processed cheese is also good way processing a little stale cottage cheese. 
cottage cheese - 0.5 kg;
soda - 0.5 teaspoon;
salt - 1 teaspoon;
chicken egg - 1 pc.
Pour water into the pan (about 1/3) and put it on fire. You also need to choose a smaller metal bowl or saucepan; we will cook the melted cheese in a water bath. 
Grind the cottage cheese, salt, soda and egg well in a blender. 
You will get a pleasant, “fluffy”, homogeneous curd mass without lumps. 
Next, transfer the curd mass into a metal bowl and remove the pan of boiling water from the heat. Place the bowl on the pan and return the pan with the bowl to the heat. Water should not touch the bowl. We built a water bath. 
We constantly stir our curd mass and it melts before our eyes and turns into melted cheese, the consistency of hot custard. It will take about 7 minutes for the cottage cheese to melt completely. 
If the cottage cheese is very watery, keep the cheese in a water bath a little longer to let the excess liquid evaporate. Then everything is simple, remove the pan from the heat, you can cool a little cheese in a spoon and taste, add salt if necessary. Pour the cheese into a bowl or container and cool slightly. As it cools, a film forms on the surface of the cheese, which easily disappears when stirred. Stir the cheese at room temperature, cover with a lid or cling film. Place in the refrigerator until completely cooled. 
It is convenient to make processed cheese in the evening, and in the morning you will have delicious sandwiches with cheese for a cup of coffee.
