Fried quark croquettes are small, shaped portions of quark or curd cheese mixture, coated in crumbs and fried until golden. Recipes often season the mixture with herbs or spices; the exact ingredients and texture vary from one recipe to another.
To make fried quark croquettes, drain wet quark, mix it with egg and enough flour or another binder to shape, then season. Form small portions, coat them in breadcrumbs, and fry in hot oil until crisp and golden.
Fried quark croquettes usually fall apart when the cheese mixture is too wet, the binder is insufficient, or the oil is not hot enough. Drain the quark well, chill the shaped croquettes briefly, and fry a few at a time.
Fried quark croquettes are usually savory, with salt, herbs, or spices added to the cheese mixture. Sweet quark fritters are a different preparation; if a recipe adds sugar or serves the croquettes with sweet toppings, follow that recipe’s style.
A garlic-yogurt dip, herbed sour cream, or a tangy tomato sauce pairs well with fried quark croquettes. Serve the sauce on the side so the breadcrumb coating stays crisp until you eat them.
For crisp fried quark croquettes, coat them evenly in breadcrumbs and fry in properly heated oil without crowding the pan. Drain them on a wire rack rather than stacking them or covering them, which traps steam and softens the crust.
Yes, you can bake or air-fry quark croquettes, though the coating may be less crisp than deep-fried croquettes. Arrange them with space between each piece, lightly brush or spray with oil, and turn them once as they cook.
Yes, freeze shaped, breadcrumb-coated quark croquettes in a single layer, then transfer them to a sealed freezer container once firm. Thaw them in the refrigerator before frying so the centers cook evenly and the coating is less likely to split.
Refrigerate leftover fried quark croquettes in a covered container once they have cooled, rather than leaving them out for an extended time. For the best texture, eat them within a few days and discard any that smell or look unusual.
Reheat fried quark croquettes in an oven or air fryer to bring back some crispness; a microwave tends to soften the coating. Heat them until the centers are hot, and avoid reheating the same leftovers repeatedly.

Fried quark croquettes are crisp-coated bites with a soft cheese filling. In this Turkish-style version, the filling is made with lor, a mild, fresh Turkish cheese commonly used in pastries and breakfast dishes; it is related to, but not exactly the same as, German quark.
Serve them hot as a snack, alongside tea, or as part of a mezze-style spread, with a yoghurt dip or a squeeze of lemon. They provide protein and calcium, while frying makes them relatively high in fat and energy: a 100 g portion has 15 g of fat. For a lighter result, bake them or cook them in a pan with just a little oil.

How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
