Main ingredients
- 500 g quark or curd cheese Can be swapped with ricotta or cottage cheese but may alter the texture slightly.
- 3 large eggs
- 60 g semolina Can be substituted with almond flour but might change overall texture.

- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp honey Optional, can reduce for less sweetness.

- Wash the plums, halve them, and remove the pits.
- Grease your baking dish and pour the quark mixture evenly into it.
- Arrange the plum halves on top of the quark mixture, cut side up.

- Allow to cool slightly before serving; it can be enjoyed warm or cold.
Notes
Pro Tips: Ensure the quark is at room temperature for easier mixing. Don't overbake; the casserole should be firm but slightly wobbly in the center. Experiment with spices like nutmeg or ginger for different flavors. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
