🧂 Ingredienti
- 200 g Dulce de Membrillo (Quince Paste)(Look for a firm, dense quince paste. It should be a deep reddish-brown color.)

👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Prepare the quince paste: Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the block of dulce de membrillo into approximately 1 cm (about 1/2 inch) thick slices. If the paste is very sticky, you can lightly dampen your knife with water.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 2
Prepare the cheese: Slice the cheese into pieces that are roughly the same thickness as the quince paste slices, or into cubes if preferred. The goal is to have pieces that are easy to eat alongside the quince paste.
⏱️ 4 minutes - 3
Assemble the platter: Arrange the slices of quince paste and cheese on a serving plate or board. You can alternate them, layer them, or place them side-by-side. Aim for an attractive presentation.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Serve immediately. This dish is best enjoyed at room temperature, allowing the flavors to meld. It makes an excellent simple dessert after a meal or a delightful snack any time of day.
