Easter White Cheese, also known as Farmer's cheese, is a popular cheese in the United States and several Eastern European countries. This creamy, tangy cheese is made by straining the curds from a mixture of sour cream, cream cheese, and cottage cheese. The white color of the cheese comes from not adding any coloring agents. This cheese is a versatile ingredient that can be used in many different dishes or served plain with your favorite crackers or bread.

Instructions

1.	Line a large colander with a cheesecloth.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, add in cottage cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream. Mix them well with a spatula.
3.	Pour this mixture into the cheesecloth-lined colander. Wrap the cheesecloth around the cheese and press down a little to remove access liquid.
4.	Put this colander over a bowl or a sink to drain for at least 6-7 hours or overnight.
5.	Once the cheese is drained to your desired consistency, take it out from the colander onto a plate.
