Kolache - Sweet Goodness!

On Father's Day, we invited our friend Becky over to join us for dinner since her family lives in Texas. She brought over Kolache, a Czech pastry, which was delicious. Becky told us that she grew up with her grandmother making these and received a recipe from her mom.

The photo shows kolache with a cream cheese (sweetened with sugar, vanilla and egg white) filling, cherry filling and apricot filling.

Between last night and this morning, I tried one of each. The filling and pastry played off of each other nicely. The pastry itself had a subtle sweetness, but then when I took a bite of it with the filling, the flavor burst on my palate tasted wonderful! My favorite was the cream cheese kolache with the cherry coming in a very close second.

I do not have a recipe to share at this time, but the pastry was worth talking due to it's shear yum factor. Have a great day!
