Prepare the Milk: Pour 1 liter of milk into a 2-liter jar or a large heat-resistant container. Set aside.

Heat the Milk: Place the jar of milk in a large pan. Fill the pan with water, creating a water bath for the milk. Slowly heat the water on medium-high heat, bringing the milk to near-boiling point (but not a full boil).

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together 200 grams of sour cream, 3 eggs, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.

Add the Egg Mixture to the Milk: When the milk is almost boiling, slowly pour the egg mixture into the milk while continuously stirring. This will help to curdle the milk and start the cheese-making process.

Let the Cheese Form: Continue stirring the mixture. After 3-4 minutes, the milk will start to boil, and you’ll notice the curds (cheese) beginning to separate from the whey (liquid). Let the mixture cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the Walnuts: While the cheese is cooking, chop 100 grams of walnuts into medium-sized pieces. Don’t chop them too finely, as you want the walnuts to be noticeable in the cheese. Add the walnuts to the cheese mixture and stir well.

Cook for 2 More Minutes: Allow the cheese and walnuts to cook together for about 2 minutes to infuse the nutty flavor throughout the cheese.

Strain the Cheese: Place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl or container. Carefully pour the cheese mixture into the strainer to separate the curds from the whey. Let the cheese drain completely.

Form the Cheese: After straining, transfer the curds into a cheese mold or press. If you don’t have a cheese mold, you can use a clean kitchen cloth or cheesecloth to wrap the cheese and press it into a desired shape.

Let it Rest: Leave the cheese in the mold or wrapped cloth for a few hours to set. For best results, refrigerate the cheese for a few hours or overnight to allow it to firm up.

Enjoy!: Once the cheese has fully set, it's ready to serve. Slice and enjoy your homemade cheese with a crunchy walnut texture!
