This is very quick and easy, but oh so delightful. If you can’t get hold of curds (quark) you may use ricotta instead. I usually serve with berry jelly (rote Grütze). You might add rum soaked raisins to the filling, that’s a matter of preference. You might want to prepare real Strudel pastry, see recipe 466452 for how to make that…
This was definitely the best dessert offering my friends and I had at the Kafe Sacher in Wien. Forget Sacher Torte (imo way too dry), try these instead. I have not provided a fruit compote – use one of your liking (at the Kafe Sacher they were served with an apricot sauce). This particular recipe was found at the GlobalGourmet and adjusted to include the toasted breadcrumbs. Note: In Austria, topfen (quark) would be used instead of cottage cheese. If you have it, use it. 🙂
This is another classic Viennese dessert. Thinly baked crepes, filled with a Quark Cream filling and finished in the oven. It is important to use authenthic German Quark/Topfen. Some of the upscale markets and German deli’s in the US carry it but if you can’t find it, there is a fantastic recipe for home made Quark already posted. “Recipe #476124”, it’s easy and inexpensive to make and works perfect for this recipe.
This came from another website and I adapted it for my tastes. It is a great dish to serve along side bratwurst and cabbage salad or any number of other things 🙂 The farmer’s cheese I used is a mild semi-firm cheese (not the cottage cheesey type). You can substitute Gruyere or other similar Swiss type cheese. The spätzle can be made ahead through step 5 (boiling); refrigerate until ready to fry.
