It is always nice to have something in your reportoire that you can whip up at a moment’s notice that is just delicious and impressive, without a lot of effort. (Thank you Thermomix...again!)

I love my own Fresh Cheese recipe, and you could certainly use it for this recipe, if you drained it well first. Otherwise, store bought is just fine.

I used a very expensive little piece of Italian smoked cheese, but you can really use any smoked cheese of choice. The addition of the smoked paprika is also going to add the flavour we are looking for...serve them with a spicy tomato sauce and I think you will hear no complaints...
