Munavalgele

Munavalgele is a type of Estonian traditional dessert. It is primarily made from cottage cheese, also known as quark, and eggs. The dessert is typically baked until it sets and develops a firm, yet creamy texture. Often, sugar and vanilla are added for sweetness and flavor. Some variations may include additional ingredients like sour cream, butter, or even fruit.

The preparation of munavalgele involves combining the main ingredients and then baking the mixture in a dish, usually in an oven. The cooking process allows the eggs to coagulate and bind the cottage cheese, resulting in a custard-like consistency. It can be served either warm or chilled. Munavalgele is a simple yet satisfying dessert that has been a part of Estonian culinary heritage for generations. Its popularity stems from its ease of preparation and the use of common, readily available ingredients. It is often considered a comfort food or a simple treat enjoyed at home.
