1 cup (250 ml) quark or kefir cheese (or cottage cheese blended until creamy)
1/2 cup (125 ml) buttermilk or kefir
1 Tbsp (15 ml) honey
2 Tbsp (30 ml) flax seed oil
2 Tbsp (30 ml) flax seeds, freshly ground
1 apple, grated
1 Tbsp (15 ml) hazelnuts or walnuts, finely grated

In a large bowl, blend quark, buttermilk, honey and flax seed oil with a fork until creamy. Spread a layer of ground flax in two bowls and cover with apple and nuts. Top with the quark-oil blend and serve.

What Is Quark?
Quark is the milk solid that separates from the whey when fermented (soured) milk, kefir or yogurt is heated to 165°F (75°C) and poured through a strainer or cheesecloth. Quark has the consistency of soft cream cheese and can be used in sweet recipes with honey and fruit or in salty dishes with chives, herbs and seasoning. Alternatively it can be used as a spread, dip and dressing or as a filling for perogies or cheesecake. Serves two.
