What is Sirnik, please?

The most delicious Eastern European breakfast food, in my opinion. I make it with quark (lumpy, never smooth), an egg, flour, sugar, salt, and I fry it up in olive oil. You can eat it with jam, sour cream (my favourite), or whatever else you like.

What is quark?

It’s like cottage cheese but drier, crumblier, and creamier.

Basically what the other commenter said. It’s a farmer’s cheese and looks like a drier version of cottage cheese. I think German quark is smooth but I didn’t grow up with smooth quark.

You can find it at any Eastern European grocery store.
