Quince paste or "membrillo" is a typical dessert eaten in Spain, although it is also served with toast at the breakfast table. "Membrillo" or "Dulce de Membrillo" is a sweet, very dense jelly or paste made from the fruit of the quince tree. Try it with cheese for a light dessert or breakfast.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz membrillo (quince paste)
  • 1 baguette
  • 4 oz. soft goat cheese or cream Cheese (optional)
  • alternative cheese - Manchego

Preparation:

Slice the baguette into 1/3-inch slices and lightly toast on both sides. Spread a thin layer of cheese on each slice. Then, carefully cut membrillo into slices about 1/8-inch thick and place on top of toast with cheese.
