Having lived about 5 years in Germany in all, I have been sorely missing the fresh cheese speise quark. So this week I have been creating substitutions to simulate this. Lo and behold today I found a Vermont company that now makes a pretty good quark. But I have grown fond of my concoctions, too, so am recommending them. For this brown bag, you should pack the cheese blend and fresh vegetable topping separately from the bread until serving time to keep your bread from getting soggy. If you absolutely had to pack it assembled ahead, then toast the bread first or use a knackebrot instead.
