Twarozek (Farmers Cheese Spread)

Twarozek is definitely a Polish breakfast staple. It’s great eaten on the side like a small salad or on top of bread like a thick spread. Farmers cheese can be scarce, so I often use cottage cheese instead, especially the small curd type. It also tastes great but is a little wetter.   

INGREDIENTS makes 8-10 servings

1 lb farmers cheese or cottage cheese

1 bunch red breakfast radishes (black radishes will work too)

1 bunch chives or 1/2 bunch scallions

2 Tbs whipping cream or to taste (optional)

salt and pepper to taste

.

INSTRUCTIONS

• 1 lb farmers cheese or cottage cheese
• 1 bunch red breakfast radishes (black radishes will work too)
• 1 bunch chives or 1/2 bunch scallions
• 2 Tbs whipping cream or to taste (optional)
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Dice the radishes into small peas sized cubes and slice the chives or scallions. In a large bowl mix together the radishes, chives or scallions and farmers cheese. If the mixture seems a little dry add in the whipping cream to achieve your desired consistency. It should be a little crumbly but able to hold together. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve cold.
