Here is the authentic Hungarian Cottage Cheese Noodles – Túrós Csusza 🇭🇺 One of Hungary’s most beloved comfort foods!
🧀 Hungarian Cottage Cheese Noodles (Túrós Csusza)
Ingredients
400 g (14 oz) wide egg noodles or small pasta squares
250 g (9 oz) cottage cheese or Hungarian túró
150 g (5 oz) bacon, diced
½ cup sour cream
Salt, to taste
Black pepper (optional)
Instructions

3️⃣ Combine Toss hot noodles with bacon fat and cottage cheese.
4️⃣ Serve Top with crispy bacon and a generous spoon of sour cream.

Hungarian Tips 🇭🇺
✔ Use dry, crumbly cottage cheese if possible ✔ Mix while noodles are hot so cheese softens ✔ Balance creaminess with crispy bacon
Variations
Extra creamy: mix some sour cream directly into the noodles
Meatless: skip bacon and add butter + fried onions
Baked version: bake 10–15 min for a crusty top
Perfect with Uborkasaláta (Hungarian cucumber salad) like the one you just asked for 😄 If you want, I can also share sweet cottage cheese noodles or a baked Túrós Csusza version 🇭🇺✨
