1. Make your "homemade" cheese

This is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of expired milk.

After all, cheese is sour milk.

Make your own cottage cheese by cooking expired milk in a bain-marie.

When it starts to sweat, drain it in a cloth until it has a fairly thick consistency.

Finally, stir in fresh cream, salt and pepper.

If your milk is curdled, you can also make homemade cheese.

Cover a colander with a square of muslin then pour your curdled milk into it.

Tie the muslin and hang it over a bowl in your fridge to drain.

Your cheese is ready to eat when the preparation no longer drips!

2. Prepare your pastries

Expired milk is an ideal ingredient for pancakes, cakes and waffles.

Once cooked, it is impossible to know that you have used sour milk.
