Kuymak is a warm, hearty breakfast from Turkey’s Black Sea region, made by melting fresh Kashar cheese with cornmeal and butter. Serve it hot in the skillet with bread.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Cook the cornmeal

10 min

Bring the water to a boil and slowly add the cornmeal. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

2

Add the butter

5 min

Add the butter to the mixture and continue stirring until it melts completely.

3

Melt the cheese

5 min

Caution: Keep the heat low and add the grated cheese a little at a time. Stir until it melts completely and becomes stringy.

4

Serve hot

1 min

Bring the kuymak to the table in the skillet it was cooked in and serve immediately with warm bread.

Reminder

Important: Keep the heat low when adding the cheese, or it may clump and release its fat. Allergen: Contains dairy (butter and cheese). Caution: Kuymak cools and thickens quickly, so bring it to the table and serve promptly.
