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 had a hard time finding quark, but I eventually found it at a specialty grocery store.
