Kaassoufflé

The popular Dutch snack known as kaassoufflé was invented in a Dutch Snackbar in the 1960s. Prepared in the shape of a large rectangle or a half-moon, it consists of thin, breaded and deep-fried dough that is filled with cheese, which melts in the process.

This snack can be bought frozen, made at home, or bought at numerous Dutch street vending machines that serve food (especially popular after a night out). Gouda is not the only option regarding the filling, which can be enriched by the addition of ham, spinach, different cheeses, and spices.

Kaassoufflé is typically consumed on its own, but it can also be paired with condiments such as mustard or ketchup.
