Bread with sucuk and kashar cheese is an open-faced Turkish-style snack or meal topped with sucuk, a spiced, cured sausage, and melted kashar, a semi-hard Turkish cheese. It is commonly baked or toasted until the cheese melts.
Top slices of bread with sucuk and grated or sliced kashar, then bake or toast until the sausage is cooked through and the cheese has melted. Use a sturdy slice so it holds the toppings, and serve while hot.
Yes, an air fryer works well for bread with sucuk and kashar cheese. Arrange the topped slices in a single layer and cook until the cheese melts and the sucuk is hot; check early, since thin bread can brown quickly.
No, thin sucuk slices can cook on the bread as it bakes. If you want to remove some of the rendered fat, briefly fry the sucuk first and blot it before topping the bread.
A sturdy sliced loaf, Turkish bread, or thick-cut sandwich bread works well for bread with sucuk and kashar cheese. Very soft, thin bread can turn limp under the sausage fat and melted cheese.
Toast the bread lightly before adding the toppings, and drain sucuk that has released a lot of fat. Bake the assembled slices until the cheese melts, then serve promptly rather than letting them sit covered.
Yes, you can use another cheese that melts smoothly, such as mozzarella, but the flavor will be different. Kashar gives this Turkish-style topping its characteristic mild, savory taste and pairs especially well with spiced sucuk.
Yes, bread with sucuk and kashar cheese can be served as a hot Turkish breakfast, as well as a snack or quick meal. It is rich and savory, so fresh vegetables make a good contrast.
Refrigerate leftover bread with sucuk and kashar cheese in a covered container once it has cooled, and eat it soon. Reheat it in an oven or toaster oven to restore some crispness; a microwave tends to soften the bread.
Bread with sucuk and kashar cheese provides protein, but it is a processed dish that is high in sodium and energy-dense. For a lighter serving, use less sucuk and cheese, choose a moderate amount of bread, and add fresh vegetables.

Bread with sucuk and kashar cheese is a Turkish-style open sandwich: bread is topped with slices of sucuk, a spiced, cured sausage, and kashar, a Turkish cheese that melts smoothly. It is usually baked or toasted until the cheese softens and the sausage releases its savoury juices, and is found at home as well as in bakeries and snack shops.
In Turkey, it can be breakfast, a filling bite with tea, or a quick meal at any time of day. The combination is rich and hearty, with 16.8 g of protein per 100 g, but it is also energy-dense and salty. For a lighter plate, serve a smaller portion with fresh tomatoes, cucumber or salad.
