Bread with Cecil cheese pairs bread with çeçil, a traditional Turkish cheese that pulls apart into fine, stretchy strands. It is especially associated with eastern Turkey, including the Erzurum region, and has a mildly salty flavour. The simple combination makes a convenient sandwich rather than a formal dish.
In Turkey, it may be eaten at breakfast, as a quick meal on the go or alongside tea; tomatoes, cucumber and fresh herbs make easy additions. For readers elsewhere, it works well as a light lunch or snack. The bread supplies most of the carbohydrates, while the cheese contributes protein and calcium; the sandwich provides 13.5 g of protein per 100 g. Add vegetables or use a smaller amount of cheese for a lighter filling.
