Hrudka (Easter cheese)

Submitted by Pa. Hiker

"This is a traditional eastern 'cheese' (really an egg ball). During lent we give up all forms of meat and dairy products, then on Easter Sunday pig out on what we've given up. NOTE: the whey from this is used in my Paska recipe, save it and make both!"

My family has made this every Easter for ever. Our recipe is a little different. I have never seen it in any cookbook
