Ingredients
- 400 g (1 3/4 cups) dry cottage cheese (0.5%)
- 2 eggs
- 100 g (3/4 cup) flour
- 100 g (1 cup) grated cheese
- Fresh herbs, chopped
- Salt and dried garlic to taste
Instructions
- Choose a dry cottage cheese. Mix it with the eggs, flour, and grated cheese. Season with salt, dried (or fresh) garlic, and herbs.
- With wet hands, form balls and poke a hole through the middle of each with your finger — the bigger the hole, the neater the donut. Place on a silicone mat or oiled parchment.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes until golden.
Tips
- Use dry cottage cheese for the best shape; if yours is wet, drain it well before mixing.
- Keep your hands wet while shaping, and make the hole generous, as it will close up slightly in the oven.
