Quark-tasche ( German Cheese Pastry )
Per serving
Many years ago while on vacation in Munich, Germany, I stopped in a bakery for a snack. The pastry I had has stayed at the back of my mind for about 10 years now. This is my attempt at re-creating it. It is still kind-of a work in process, so please feel free to add more sugar or lemon juice as you like.
Ingredients
Step-by-step instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F.
- 2
Combine quark, lemon juice and 3-4 tsp sugar. Taste and adjust juice and sugar to taste if necessary.
- 3
Add egg and stir to combine.
- 4
Unroll crescents and separate into large (roughly) squares (two per package of dough). Pinch together seams as much as possible.
- 5
Measure out about 2 Tablespoons of cheese mixture and place in center of square.
- 6
Take hold of two opposite corners of dough and bring to a point in the center, bringing the other two corners in to meet them, so that you are left with roughly a square filled pastry.
- 7
Sprinkle squares with about 1/2 tsp sugar each and bake for about 14 minutes or until browned and puffed.
- 8
Allow to cool and enjoy at room temperature.
- 9
Refrigerate or freeze any leftovers.
