Koch Kase (cooked cheese)

from http://www.texasmonthly.com

• Mix in a bowl and let stand at least 30 minutes:

• 24 oz. cottage cheese (small curd, not drained)
• 2 teaspoons (level) baking soda

• Stir into cheese mixture:

• 5 tablespoons flour

• In a large nonstick fry pan melt:

• 2 sticks margarine (regular, not, diet)

• Add cheese mixture to melted margarine & cook until creamy (cottage cheese melted).

• When it is finished, add:

• caraway seeds, to taste

• Spread on fresh bread when the cheese is warm. If you have some dry smoked sausage from this area, it’s even better!
• Store in refrigerator & it will thicken. Good on crackers, too.
