📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Kachkéis means 'cooked cheese,' a cheese unique to Luxembourg: ripened fresh cheese is cooked with milk and butter into a smooth cream. It's classically spread on bread with mustard or finely chopped onion. Homemade or bought at the supermarket, it's a familiar everyday taste.
