Swabian cheese dumplings are a dish that brings together simple ingredients to create something truly comforting. It’s warm, cheesy, and full of rich flavors- exactly the kind of meal that feels like home.

The Swabians, a German-speaking group, settled in Hungary centuries ago, bringing their traditions and cooking with them. Over time, their recipes blended with local flavors, creating unique dishes like this one. Though it has German roots, this dumpling dish has become a beloved part of Hungarian cuisine.

Hungarian cottage cheese

This is what Hungarian túró looks like

You often ask me what kind of cottage cheese (or curd cheese or farmer's cheese - call it what you want) I use in the recipes. In Hungary the store-bought cottage cheese is dry and crumbly as you can see in the picture. So if a recipe calls for túró, I mean this type. If you can't obtain túró, you can try to make your own from whole milk. Click on the link below.

Metric system vs cup

In Hungary metric units are in use, all the recipes on this website are based on this system, so a kitchen scale is necessary. Since I’m not familiar with cup as a measurement unit, I convert grams to cups by using an online converter. The values in brackets, therefore, are only approximate volumes, so, please, double-check them before you start cooking.
