Thurgauer Käseschnitten

Thurgauer Käseschnitten is a traditional snack originating from Thurgau. It's usually made with a combination of rye bread slices, butter, scallions, leeks, garlic, apples, flour, milk, eggs, salt, pepper, paprika, and Tilsiter cheese. The white parts of scallions, leeks, garlic, and apples are sautéed in butter, then mixed with the grated cheese, milk, and eggs. The mixture is spread on slices of bread, then baked in the oven for about fifteen minutes. Once done, Thurgauer Käseschnitten are topped with the green parts of scallions and served as a snack. If desired, pieces of bacon can be added on top of the bread slices before baking.
