Witt Käse-Fleischkäse
What it is
This is a type of Fleischkäse, a finely ground meat loaf popular in German-speaking countries. It is made from a mixture of pork and beef, seasoned and baked in a loaf pan. The addition of cheese gives it a richer flavor and a slightly different texture compared to plain Fleischkäse. It is typically sold pre-cooked and ready to be heated.

To prepare Käse-Fleischkäse, you can slice it and pan-fry it until it develops a nice brown crust on both sides. This method brings out its savory flavors and creates a pleasant crispy exterior.
