Smooth cooked cheese spread on bread
🇱🇺 Luxembourg City
Kachkéis — "cooked cheese" — is a Luxembourgish specialty, a smooth, soft, spreadable cheese gently melted and often flavored with a hint of caraway. Spread generously on fresh bread, sometimes with a swipe of mustard, it is a simple, comforting breakfast and snack that Luxembourgers grow up on.
