Farmer’s Cheese with Radishes and Green Onions
A Healthy breakfast with rice cakes, farmer’s cheese, radishes and green onions.
What is Farmer’s cheese? It is soft white cheese traditionally made in Europe. I grew up in Europe so I know this type of cheese that is hard to find in US or Canada. However, after living in US 15 years I noticed that farmer’s cheese can be bought in US, usually in European stores, but sometimes in large chain stores. In Canada (in the area where I live now) it is very difficult for me to find this type of cheese.
Farmers cheese is very often used in many recipes, for example: pierogis, cheesecakes, crepes, etc. Definitely there are endless possibilities for this type of cheese. This yummy and healthy breakfast I can eat every day, it is very light with delicious radishes, green onions and salt.

I love how you have incorporated radish into this breakfast dish! Is farmer’s cheese the same as cottage cheese in Canada? 🙂
Farmer’s cheese is similar to cottage cheese, but it has different consistency and a little different taste. I prefer farmer’s cheese over cottage cheese.
Yum! What a fresh and easy breakfast idea!
Yes Chris you are right easy and fresh breakfast!
great snack!
Thanks!
I’m so curious about this farmer’s cheese…this looks delicious 🙂
Thanks Denise!
My Polish mother-in-law called this dish Avonturka. I’m probably misspelling it. Do you know it by this name?
I actually never heard of Avonturka, but sometimes names of the dish are called differently in each part of Poland.
