Quark-tasche ( German Cheese Pastry ) image

Many years ago while on vacation in Munich, Germany, I stopped in a bakery for a snack. The pastry I had has stayed at the back of my mind for about 10 years now. This is my attempt at re-creating it. It is still kind-of a work in process, so please feel free to add more sugar or lemon juice as you like.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 pastries

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces Quark
3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (or to taste)
4 teaspoons sugar (or to taste)
1 egg
4 (8 ounce) cans crescent roll dough
4 teaspoons sugar, divided (for top)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Combine quark, lemon juice and 3-4 tsp sugar. Taste and adjust juice and sugar to taste if necessary.
  • Add egg and stir to combine.
  • Unroll crescents and separate into large (roughly) squares (two per package of dough). Pinch together seams as much as possible.
  • Measure out about 2 Tablespoons of cheese mixture and place in center of square.
  • Take hold of two opposite corners of dough and bring to a point in the center, bringing the other two corners in to meet them, so that you are left with roughly a square filled pastry.
  • Sprinkle squares with about 1/2 tsp sugar each and bake for about 14 minutes or until browned and puffed.
  • Allow to cool and enjoy at room temperature.
  • Refrigerate or freeze any leftovers.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pastries didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I'll have to try again.

These pastries were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try brushing them with milk before baking them next time.

The filling was a bit runny for my taste. I think I'll try adding more cornstarch next time.

These pastries were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

These pastries are a great way to use up leftover Quark. I always have some on hand, and it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in these pastries. The Quark filling is the perfect balance to the buttery pastry dough.

I made a few modifications to the recipe, using a different type of flour and adding some cinnamon to the filling. They turned out great!

I've never had Quark before, but I really enjoyed it in this recipe. It's a mild and creamy cheese that pairs perfectly with the sweet pastry dough.

I'm not a big baker, but these Quark Taschen were surprisingly easy to make. The dough came together quickly and easily, and the filling was simple to prepare. The hardest part was waiting for them to bake!

These Quark Taschen were a delight! The pastry was flaky and the filling was creamy and flavorful. I especially liked the addition of the lemon zest, which gave the filling a nice brightness.
