These bacon-wrapped cheese balls are made with quark (farmer's cheese), hard cheese, eggs, and dill, then wrapped in strips of bacon. The quark mixture includes plenty of finely chopped dill, crushed garlic, and a pinch each of salt and sugar. Each ball is wrapped in two slices of bacon to hold it together. Serve them as bite-size appetizers for guests or as a flavorful accompaniment to a vegetable salad.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Combine the quark, wheat flour, and eggs in a deep mixing bowl.
Finely chop a generous amount of dill and crush the garlic.
Add the grated hard cheese, salt, and sugar to the mixture and mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
Shape the mixture into balls and wrap each one in 2 strips of bacon.
Tip: Add your favorite seasonings to the filling for different variations, including spicier ones.
Finally, pan-fry the bacon-wrapped balls in a hot skillet and serve.

Tip: Place the balls in the pan bacon-seam side down first so the seam seals and the bacon stays wrapped. Cook over moderately low heat, turning them so the quark and egg mixture heats through to the center.
