Notes
- Slowly stir the cornmeal and the cheese together until the cheese becomes stringy and gummy at the same time.
- Using the right type of cheese for this dish is essential. Fresh cheeses such as feta or ricotta wouldn't work. The best cheeses are aged unpasteurized cow cheese that would string when heated.
- Kuymak (or Mihlama) is best when served warm and freshly made. The Cheese would lose its stringiness when cold and the texture would get rubbery.
- This delicious Turkish breakfast item is ready in 15 minutes and only requires 3 main ingredients!
- The best way to cook Kuymak - Mihlama is to use a wooden spoon or a silicon spatula.
