Breakfast Soft White Cheese
Soft cottage cheese with cucumber and radish is a so-called classic in Poland. We usually make it from early spring until September, but it is also a great breakfast item during autumn and winter months.
This recipe is a great alternative for your standard morning routine in the kitchen. Ready in just 10 min, might change the way you feel about the day. Refreshing soft cheese thanks to radish and fresh cucumber with a spoon of yogurt and mayo, making this innocent dish a big hit in every polish household.
Great to enjoy with the side of a slice of fresh bread as well as on the top of the bread as a spread. I also remember my mom packing it for me as a second breakfast to school, which was always a great surprise when I opened my lunch bag. If you want to enjoy it at work as a lunch alternative make sure to keep it in the fridge.
What kind of cheese do I choose for this recipe? I get my soft white cheese (cottage/curd cheese), also known as twaróg, in my local Polish deli. They are coming in a white round or triangle packaging in the refrigerator ally. The brands to look out for are Mlekpopl, Łowicz, or Piątnica.
