What is Curd cheese with jam?
Curd cheese with jam pairs soft, fresh Turkish lor—a mild, crumbly cheese—with fruit jam. It is usually assembled at the table rather than cooked: the creamy, slightly tangy cheese can be mixed with the jam or spread alongside it on bread. The type of jam varies with what is available at home.
In Turkey, it is a simple breakfast option, often eaten with bread and tea. For English-speaking readers elsewhere, it also works as a quick sweet-and-savoury breakfast or snack, much like fresh cheese served with preserves. The cheese contributes protein and calcium, while the jam gives the dish its sweetness. For a less sweet serving, use a smaller spoonful of jam and add fresh fruit or plain bread.
