ReceptnaptárPečeni sir s medom (baked curd cheese squares with honey and cinnamon)
These baked quark squares are a simple, pastry-free take on Balkan curd cheese cakes: the egg and a little semolina bind the quark just enough to let you slice it. A portion has 21 grams of protein, so it makes a good breakfast or post-workout snack, and the lemon zest keeps the flavour light.

Tips
- Break up the quark with a fork, or blend it smooth if you don't like a grainy texture.
- Let it cool to lukewarm after baking, because it breaks while hot and only firms up enough to slice as it stands.
- In a fan oven, bake at 170 °C. It is worth putting the walnuts in a dry frying pan for a few minutes, as this strengthens their flavour.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it keep?
3 days in a sealed container in the fridge. It is good cold too, but a few seconds in the microwave brings back its creaminess.
Can I make it sugar-free?
You can leave out the honey and sweeten it with fresh fruit or a little erythritol instead. The lemon zest still brings out the flavour of the quark.
