TWAROŻEK ŚNIADANIOWY

There are many versions of a traditional Polish breakfast, but none have that perfect spring vibe like twarożek You can use a wide variety of veg and herb in it, but my go-to mix is peppery radish, cool cucumber, and heaps of chive and dill. Served with a thick slice of sourdough of course!

Traditionally it’s made with farmer’s cheese, but I decided to try it out with full-fat cottage cheese. I have to say, I was very pleased with the results.

My mother, who moved to the United States when she was in her 30s, commented that my version looks very similar to the breakfasts she enjoyed as a little girl growing up in Poland.

I realize that this breakfast is a little bit different than what we are used to in the United States. Whether you’re a cereal junkie or an avo toast aficionado, I encourage you to try this delicious and nourishing breakfast.
