These savory quark fritters with dill and egg are fried cheese balls made with five ingredients. Mix smooth quark, a soft curd cheese, with egg and salt, then add chopped dill and a little flour. Shape the mixture into balls, coat them in flour, and fry in hot oil. You can use bryndza, a Slovak sheep cheese, instead of quark and serve them with dill or garlic sauce for breakfast, or with a salad for dinner.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Mix the quark with the egg and salt, then add the chopped dill and flour.

  2. Shape the mixture into balls, coat them in flour, and fry in hot oil.

  3. Serve with dill or garlic sauce.

Tip: If the quark releases whey, let it drain in a strainer first, as a wet mixture could fall apart in the oil. If using bryndza, omit the salt, as the cheese is already salty enough.
