Method

  1. Toast the rye.

  2. Stir the dill, lemon and black pepper into the quark and spread it thickly over the toast.

  3. Lay the turkey over and finish with thin slices of cucumber.

Worth knowing

  • Quark is 12 g of protein per 100 g and almost no fat, which a spread on toast rarely is. Light cream cheese in the same spot is 8 g of protein and 11 g of fat.
  • A light breakfast at 212 kcal. Two slices with the same topping split between them is closer to a normal one, and mostly adds carbohydrate.
