This is a savory twist on traditional syrniky. The choice of mozzarella is flexible—while I prefer a mild-tasting cheese, any dry, good-melting cheese can work and even add an interesting twist to the recipe.

Steps

30 min

1

Preheat the pan. Drain the cottage cheese, and if it has a grainy texture, use an immersion blender to smooth it out.
2

In a large bowl, mix the cottage cheese and egg. Add 2 tablespoons of flour and salt, and stir to combine.
3

Add the finely grated mozzarella and chopped dill to the mixture, and mix well.
4

Generously dust a cutting board with flour and transfer the mixture onto it.
5

Roll the cheese mixture into a cylinder, making sure it's evenly coated in flour.
6

Cut the rolled mixture into your desired portion sizes, covering the sides of each piece with flour. Shape them, if necessary, to make them more round.
7

Lightly grease the pan with cooking spray or oil, then place the cheese pancakes in the pan. Cover and cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes per side, or until the edges are firm and golden.
8

Serve with sour cream or lightly salted salmon for a delicious touch.
