Quark-semolina casserole with peaches

A Topfen-Grieß-Auflauf is a classic Austrian dish that combines a casserole made from Topfen (quark) and Grieß (durum wheat semolina). The casserole is often sweet and is usually served as a dessert, but can also be enjoyed as a snack.

The main ingredients are:

- Quark: It provides the creamy texture and the characteristic taste.

- Semolina: Gives the casserole a certain firmness.

- Eggs: They act as a binding agent and make the casserole airy.

- Sugar: For sweetness, optionally vanilla sugar or cinnamon can be added.

- Milk or cream: Often used to refine the consistency.

- Fruits: Sometimes fruits, such as apples or berries, are added to provide additional freshness and flavor.

It is usually prepared by mixing the ingredients together and pouring them into a casserole dish. The casserole is then baked in the oven until golden brown and set. It can be served warm or cold, often with a dusting of icing sugar or a side of compote or cream.

The curd and semolina casserole is very popular in Austria and is often prepared in traditional households.
