Preparation Steps
1
Place the quark cheese in a sieve and press out any excess liquid. Combine it with the sugar and grated lemon zest.
2
Squeeze the juice from the lemon into the quark mixture, then add the cinnamon and mix well to combine the flavors.
3
In a skillet, toast the breadcrumbs with half of the butter until lightly golden brown.
4
Lay out the strudel dough sheets individually on a clean kitchen towel. Brush each sheet with a little melted butter, then sprinkle with the toasted breadcrumbs.
5
Place the quark cheese filling onto the strudel dough sheets, then carefully roll them up. Place the rolls into a lightly buttered baking pan.
6
Whisk the egg and brush it over the top of the strudels to give them a beautiful golden-brown color while baking.
7
Bake the strudels in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until nicely browned and crispy.
8
Before serving, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
