Pungent, creamy Mohant cheese from Bohinj melted over hot buckwheat žganci, a bold alpine combination of sharp and earthy flavors.

Ingredients

1 Bring salted water to a rolling boil. Gradually add buckwheat flour, stirring to form a thick porridge.
2 Cover and cook on very low heat for 15 min without stirring.
3 Fry sliced onion in butter until golden and crispy.
4 Break the žganci into rough pieces with a fork.
5 Crumble or slice Mohant cheese over the hot žganci so it begins to melt.
6 Top with buttery fried onions and chives. Serve immediately while the cheese is melting.

Did You Know?

Mohant cheese is so pungent that first-time tasters often compare it to a strong blue cheese, though it is technically a different category entirely.
