Fondue is one of my favourite winter comfort foods. I can’t think of anything cozier and more heartwarming than a saucepan full of melted cheese, spiked with Kirsch!
Kachkéis is a bit of a Luxembourg food oddity: a cooked cheese that iss quite runny – think of the texture of glue: stringy, gloopy and rubbery, but in a good way. In fact, it is a bit like a fondue of sorts! So, to me it was quite obvious that I would have to create a Luxembourg Kachkéis fondue! Since Kachkéis is usually eaten with mustard, I decided to make some mustardy croutons to go with it – mixing Luxembourgish wholegrain and smooth mustard for the ultimate mustard kick!
You can watch how to make this recipe here.
If you want the recipe in Luxembourgish you can find it here.
This is a recipe from my book “Home Sweet Home – My Luxembourg”.
I love Kachkeis cheese! My mother was from Luxembourg. I spent many summers there. But I cannot find that cheese in America. Do you know how or where I can buy it? I actually brought some back with me last spring when I went there to visit family. It freezes well!
Thanks. Sandy
Dear Sandy,
yes unfortunately it is nearly impossible to find Kachkéis outside of Luxembourg (except for in France, where it’s known as cancoillotte). I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful, and good call on bringing some back to yours, it does indeed freeze very well.
All the best,
Anne
