Apfel Topfen Taschen – Apple and Quark Filled Pastry Pockets
These delicious treats are found in bakery shops throughout Austria and Bavaria and are enjoyed as part of a continental breakfast or brunch with a cup of coffee. They are best made with authentic german quark “Recipe #476124”, but ricotta or even cream cheese can be substituted. Use canned apple pie filling or check out “Recipe #481442” for a homemade pie filling. This pastry can also be made without the apple pie filling, just increase the amount of cheese and sugar to taste.
Glazed Carrots With Caraway Seeds
Caraway seeds are very popular in Austria and feature in many recipes, mostly in root vegetables, cabbage and bread.

Turnips, parsnips and rutabagas can be prepared and glazed in the same way, adjusting the cooking time as necessary.
Frittatensuppe – Beef Broth Topped With Strips of Sliced Pancake
