Raisins are amazing on a cheese cake, right? Right. I needed something yummy for breakfast and since I adore the traditional kazakh запеканка I decided to bake it in small muffin cups. I also added some nuts and raisins as a topping which is also very kazakh, almost every kind of kazakh sweets and cakes contain some dried fruits or nuts, or both. Just try this recipe, it's delicious!
Cheese Cakes with Raisin Topping
3 eggs
500gm sweetened curd cheese
