Bread spread with soft sheep cheese and chives
🇸🇰 Bratislava
Bryndza — a soft, tangy sheep's milk cheese — is Slovakia's national cheese, protected and prized. The simplest way to enjoy it is the breakfast of chlieb s bryndzou: fresh rustic bread spread thickly with the salty, creamy cheese and showered with chopped chives or spring onion.
