Túrós csusza (Hungarian: [ˈtuːroːʃt͡ʃusɒ] ) is a traditional Hungarian savoury curd cheese noodle dish made with small home-made noodles or pasta.[1]
Traditionally, noodles used for this dish are home-made with flour and eggs, mixed into a dough, and torn by hand into uneven fingernail-sized pieces that are then boiled in water.
The noodles are cooked in salt water and drained, crumbled cheese (túró), chopped, fried, crispy bacon, topped with thick Hungarian sour cream (tejföl) and lightly salted. The mixture is then heated in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
