What is Melted curd cheese with butter?
Melted curd cheese with butter is a simple Turkish preparation: crumbly çökelek, a fresh Turkish curd cheese, is warmed in a pan with butter until soft and spreadable. It is most familiar as a home-style breakfast dish rather than a fixed recipe, and the texture can range from creamy to softly lumpy.
Serve it warm with bread for dipping or spreading, often alongside tea and fresh vegetables at a Turkish breakfast. It provides protein, while the butter makes it relatively rich in fat. For a lighter plate, use less butter and pair it with tomatoes, cucumber and herbs; it also works as a savoury filling for flatbread.
