But can you?

I know that not every mammal’s milk can be made into cheese, the protein and fat balance is off in many animals that do not eat grass. Therefore I assume it is possible the platypus’ milk and eggs may not behave the same way cows milk and chicken eggs do.

Yeah, I don't think human milk has enough protein to make a decent cheese, but it can be supplemented in different ways to make hybrid cheeses. This recipe suggests using cow's milk at a 1-1 ratio:
