What is Thyme curd cheese spread?
Thyme curd cheese spread is a Turkish-style mixture of lor, a mild, fresh curd cheese, and thyme. The cheese has a soft, slightly crumbly texture; mashing it with the herb makes it easy to spread. Seasonings and consistency vary from one home recipe to another. In Turkey, it is often served at breakfast with bread and fresh vegetables, or offered as a small meze. It also works as a simple sandwich filling for an everyday meal. Lor makes the spread a protein-rich choice: it provides 16.2 g of protein per 100 g. Pair it with sliced cucumber, tomato or other crisp vegetables for a lighter serving.
