  1. Love this! Must be the Hungarian in me.... I had found a pint carton of Alpenrose dry cottage cheese (Portland OR area dairy), couldn't resist it, and had no idea what to do with it. Hopefully I'll be able to find more as I definitely want to make this many more times. Somehow it tastes like I'm in a European cafe, maybe in Switzerland, Austria, Hungary. Thanks so much!
     
  2. This dish is very versatile. You can have it sweet or spicy, with fruits, veggies, bacon bits or cracklings.
     
  3. Oh I miss this from my grandma :( She didn't use dill nor pepper, but as funny as it sounds we ate it with bacon and sugar! You put the sugar right when you serve it! Now if I could just get the BIG CHUNKS of bacon, how they sell it in Hungary, with the skin and everything! YUM
