- Preparation: 5 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (120 g)
- Difficulty: Easy

- Contains: dairy
Ingredients
- 100 g Queso blanco
- 20 g Jam
Method
- Slice the leipäjuusto (queso blanco) about 1 cm thick.
- Place the slices on a baking tray or ovenproof dish.
- Bake or broil at 220 °C (425 °F) for 8-10 minutes, until the top is browned in spots and the cheese is warm and slightly softened; it keeps its shape and squeaks a little when fresh.
- Alternatively, brown it directly in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve warm with a spoonful of cloudberry (or raspberry) jam alongside, and coffee if you like.
