EASTER EGG CHEESE
This is a traditional Easter cheese, that is quite bland. In fact, it really isn't a cheese at all. The cheese that you see on the plate is 1/3 of the recipe. Even though this dish is not too popular at my house, we still make it as part of the tradition. Quite often guests just fall in love with it.
