Curd Cheese Turnovers
In Austria and as far as I know, also in Germany , you can get Curd Cheese Turnovers (Quarktaschen) at just about any bakery.
We like to eat them a lot.
Curd Cheese Turnovers taste best very fresh and still warm. My daughter, on the other hand, prefers to eat them cold and puts them in the fridge just for that. :-))
And here comes the recipe, really easy to make. I have used only egg whites in the dough, so no egg whites leftover. In the filling and for brushing I then used the yolks.
