Cottage Cheese Dumplings Recipe (Topfenknodel) Bread/Muffins

INTRO

Cuisine: Austrian / Bavarian / European

Homemade Topfen (quark or curd cheese) Dumplings are a staple of the Austrian diet and these dumplings are one of the dishes I make on a regular basis for our family. They are delicious and surprisingly quick and easy to make!

Originally, the Topfenknödel came from Bohemia, but very soon they became a permanent component of the Viennese cuisine. In contrast to curd balls (popular in Germany), you don’t have to bake but to boil them. Due to the production and storage of curd, it is suggested that the labeling „Topfen“ (curd) originated from the word „Topf“ (pot). Try this recipe and bring a piece of Vienna into your own kitchen!

This dish is originally from Austria, a country that has come up with a wide variety of breathtakingly delicious desserts.

Topfen is a cheese curd that is very popular across Germany and Austria but lesser known in foreign countries. In Germany, it is usually referred to as Quark. It’s often advertised as a health food because of its high protein content.
