Ingredients

• 250g low-fat quark
• 50g soft wheat semolina
• 2 organic eggs
• 150g cherries
• 2 tbsp maple syrup

Method

You’ll need: baking dish · mixing bowl · sieve

1. Drain the cherries from the jar well in a sieve so not too much liquid gets into the batter.
2. Stir the low-fat quark, semolina, eggs and maple syrup together in a mixing bowl until smooth.
3. Leave the mixture to swell for 5 min so the semolina absorbs some moisture.
4. Carefully fold the cherries into the batter and pour everything into a small baking dish.
5. Bake the dish for a good 35 min at 180 °C (160 °C fan) until the top is golden brown.

Good to know

A breakfast like grandma used to make, with plenty of protein from quark. Semolina bake is really satisfying.

Swaps

Cherries → pieces of apple (if you prefer a bit more bite and want to use fresh fruit).

Cooking tips

Only use unsweetened cherries from a jar or fresh cherries. Sweetened fruit pushes up the carbohydrates.

Storage

The bake also tastes great cold the next morning with a cup of freshly made coffee.
