Ingredients
- 200 g (7 oz) cottage cheese
- 4 eggs
- 70 g (1/2 cup + 1 tbsp) all-purpose flour
- 50 g (1.8 oz) hard cheese, grated
- 70 ml (1/4 cup + 1 tsp) milk
- Salt to taste
- Favorite spices to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and milk.
- Add the flour, grated cheese, salt, and spices.
- Mix well until completely uniform.
- Spread the mixture in an even layer in a well-heated skillet.
- Cover and cook on low heat until golden.
- Carefully flip and brown the other side under the lid.
Tips
- Heat the skillet well before adding the mixture so the bottom sets quickly and turns golden. Find more skillet breakfast ideas at Allrecipes.
- Keep the heat low and the lid on — the trapped steam cooks the top through so the flip is easy.
- For the fluffiest result, do not overmix once the flour goes in; a few small lumps are fine. Find more egg cooking guidance at USDA.
