How to make Homemade Processed Cheese

Prepare all the ingredients you need. Melt the butter in a water bath or microwave. When the butter has cooled slightly, add the egg and stir well. Now add the curd and stir well. Mash the mass well with a spoon to knead the grains as much as possible. To make the curd mass even more homogeneous, you can puree everything with a hand blender. In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil, place the saucepan with the curd on top and, stirring continuously, melt the cheese until it is completely smooth and slightly stringy.
