These Farmer’s Cheese Bars are a delicious and elegant treat made with simple ingredients. They are sweet, cheesy, buttery, and perfect. Sweetened farmer’s cheese filling between two crumbly shortbread crusts. Farmer’s cheese is a favorite in our home, and these bars are a huge hit at our table with adults and children alike. For this reason, I like to serve them sometimes for breakfast too. It’s just the kind of thing that makes a random weekday morning feel extra special.
Plus, this recipe takes so little effort to make. The crust comes together in a food processor, and the filling is made in one bowl. If you feel ambitious, you can make your own farmer’s cheese. Here’s a Farmer’s Cheese with Greek Yogurt Recipe that will surely delight all dairy lovers.
To make the Farmer’s Cheese Bars, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and grease an 11x7-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
To the bowl of a food processor, add 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Pulse a few times to combine.
Add in ¾ cup cubed butter and pulse to combine until crumbly, with pea-sized butter chunks throughout the flour mixture.
In a mixing bowl, mix together 2 cups farmer’s cheese, ¾ cup sugar, 4 eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
Press ⅔ of the flour mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the filling over the crust and sprinkle the remaining flour mixture evenly over the top of the farmer’s cheese filling.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden in color.
Let cool before slicing into bars.
Serve and enjoy! These bars are delicate and tender, so be gentle when you handle them.
