Follow The Directions

01

Step

Begin by pressing the feta cheese through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove excess liquid. This step is crucial for achieving the right consistency. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a mixing bowl, combine the drained feta cheese, sour cream, and softened cream cheese. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until smooth, creamy, and well combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3-5 minutes)

04

Step

Transfer the kajmak to an airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. For an even more intense flavor, chill for several hours or overnight. (30+ minutes)

05

Step

Before serving, allow the kajmak to come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes to enhance its creamy texture. (15-20 minutes)

For a smoother texture, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
Adjust the ratio of sour cream to cream cheese to suit your taste preferences. More sour cream will result in a tangier kajmak.
Consider adding a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.

    Easy to make and tastes fantastic on grilled bread.

  • Jacinto Price

    I was skeptical, but this recipe is surprisingly good! It's a great substitute when you can't find authentic kajmak.

  • Alexane Erdman

    I added a clove of minced garlic, and it was amazing!
