Cottage cheese is widely used in the recipes of various cuisines of the world as a delicious and he althy product. It contains trace elements and vitamins in large quantities. There are many famous dishes with cottage cheese as a component. And if this product is usually associated with sweet desserts by some, in this article more attention is paid to dishes that use s alt and seasoned with spices. Cottage cheese with herbs and garlic just belongs to such dishes.

Appetizer and toppings

It is characterized by a spicy taste, pleasant aroma, the ability to spread on croutons or dried bread. Preparing such an appetizer (cottage cheese with herbs and garlic) is quite simple. Cooking takes just a few minutes.

We will need: half a kilogram of cottage cheese, half a glass of low-fat sour cream, a bunch of green onions, a bunch of greens (dill, cilantro,parsley, basil), a couple of garlic cloves, s alt and pepper.

Cooking

Cooked cottage cheese with herbs and garlic according to the following scheme. The main product is thoroughly kneaded with a fork, pouring in sour cream (you can use a blender to form a fluffy homogeneous mass). Finely chop all greens. We mix with the mass prepared in a blender or manually. Squeeze the garlic with a press and mix with the main part. S alt and pepper to taste. If we want to get a creamy paste that is easily spread on a toast, it will not be superfluous to beat the whole mixture again in a blender. This cream can be packaged in jars and kept in the refrigerator. It is very convenient, for example, to use ready-made pasta in the morning for delicious sandwiches, but in this case we recommend putting less garlic there. If served as a salad, then it is better not to beat in a blender, but to knead by hand.

Cheese with herbs in lavash

Thin Armenian lavash has taken root in our kitchens. With it, you can cook a lot of fast interesting dishes. Such dishes include cottage cheese with herbs and garlic, baked in pita bread in the oven. In addition, the main advantage is the absence of fuss with the dough, since the Armenian product successfully replaces it.

Ingredients: half a kilo of low-fat cottage cheese, two Armenian lavash (thin), five eggs, half a glass of sour cream, assorted greens.

Cooking

Mix greens, cottage cheese, two eggs until smooth. On the sheets of pita bread, evenly distribute the cooked mass. We twist each pita bread into a roll with cottage cheese and herbs. Rollsput on a greased baking dish. Beat sour cream with the remaining eggs, add s alt and pepper to taste. We coat each rolled roll with cottage cheese, egg and herbs with the resulting mass on top. We bake the dish in the oven, heated to 180 degrees until golden brown (the product is cooked very quickly - look, do not miss it so that the dish does not burn). Remove the baked goods from the oven and let cool. Next - cut into portioned rolls and serve to the table, laid out on a large plate.

Envelopes

Alternatively, small rectangular envelopes can be made from pita bread. Put all the same stuffing inside and carefully wrap it crosswise. Spread on top. Bake under the same conditions for a short time. These envelopes taste like small khachapuri.

Pie with cottage cheese and herbs

You can make an open pie with the same filling. To do this, we buy puff pastry in the store, defrost and roll into thin sheets. Of course, if there is such a desire, you can cook the dough yourself (here we already use the most familiar and proven method). With the filling made according to the above recipe, we spread one sheet, and cover it with the second, connecting the edges. In the middle, leave a fairly large hole so that the cake can breathe. Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg. Bake in the oven at medium temperature until cooked (check with a match).

Pancakes

This dish can also be classified as fast. You will need: three glasses of flour, a glass of water, a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil, three eggs, a pinch of soda, s alt, 300 grams of crumbly cottage cheese, greens.

Cooking cakes with cottage cheese

We drive one egg into the flour, put soda, vegetable oil. We make the dough and leave it to rest. We prepare the filling: finely chop the boiled eggs, finely chop the greens. We combine with cottage cheese. We mix. From the dough we make thin small cakes (roll out with a rolling pin). Put the filling in the center of each cake and pinch the edges, making the cakes flat. In a frying pan in hot oil, quickly fry our cakes on both sides until golden brown. We take out on napkins to remove excess fat. Such a quick dish can be eaten immediately, hot, or you can put it in the refrigerator and serve, for example, for breakfast with sour cream sauce. It even turns out very tasty. Children especially like to carry small "buns" out of hand so that you just don't have time to cook them!
