RECIPE BY: *Parsley*

Otherwise known in English as "egg cheese". This is from my MIL who has Czech heritage. She makes this every Easter. She slices it and serves it at room temp with ham. I like it when it's chilled and I slice it and put it on a sandwich w/ cold leftover ham slices. It's a soft, solid custard. Servings are a guess. Prep time is the chilling time.

    I've been making grilled hrutka sandwiches for the last few days, and I'm enjoying them quite a bit. The finished product is a nice, mild sandwich filling, and it goes well with a variety of fixings. The actual prep of the recipe was a bit messy/fussy, but that is most likely due to my own clutziness in the kitchen...the "cheese" fell apart when I was finished draining it, but it firmed up well in the refrigerator overnight. Thanks for sharing an interesting, tasty recipe!
