Ingredients

• Cottage cheese – 400 g (preferably fatty, well-squeezed)
• Feta cheese – 100 g
• Egg – 1 pc.
• Flour – 3-4 tbsp. + a little for breading
• Greens (dill, parsley, green onions) — to taste
• Salt — to taste (taking into account the saltiness of the feta cheese)
• Black pepper — optional
• Vegetable oil — for frying

Step-by-step recipe

• First of all, make sure that the cottage cheese is dry and crumbly. If it is too wet, squeeze it through cheesecloth. Grate the feta cheese on a coarse grater or mash with a fork. Finely chop the greens.
• In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, feta cheese, egg, greens, add 3 tablespoons of flour. Mix until smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. Salt and pepper to taste (if the feta cheese is salty, you can not add salt at all).
• Form small flat cakes, roll each in flour. To prevent the syrniki from sticking to your hands, you can lightly moisten your palms with water.
• Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil. Fry the syrniki on medium heat on both sides until golden brown (3-4 minutes on each side). It is important not to overheat the pan so that the syrniki do not burn on the outside and have time to cook on the inside.
