Cottage cheese is a product that is certainly healthy in all respects. But, as often happens, it can be very difficult to cram something healthy into our capricious children, so we have to dodge and invent dishes that even the biggest fussy person is guaranteed not to refuse. Cottage cheese in this regard is a classic option. Cottage cheese or cheesecakes are a wonderful dish that can be served as an addition to lunch, cooked for breakfast, fortified at home for an afternoon snack, or for a light dinner that is suitable even for those “on a diet.” The latter is especially important, since cottage cheese can be prepared not only without sugar or eggs, but even without flour!

To prevent your curds from spreading in the pan, you need to cook them from low-fat cottage cheese, dry and crumbly.

Eggs can also cause the curds to become soggy during frying, so do not overdo it with their quantity - most often one egg is enough. A large amount of sugar causes the curds to burn, so it is better to cook them not too sweet and serve them with honey, jam or sprinkle with powdered sugar. Before frying, it is better to roll the curds in flour or semolina. You can add raisins, dried apricots, sliced ​​apples, poppy seeds to curds, and shredded cabbage or mashed potatoes to unsweetened curds.

Cheese pancakes, cottage cheese pancakes, whatever you call it, everything is very tasty. Some discrepancies in the name of cottage cheese pancakes come from different words denoting the same product - cottage cheese, which is made from yogurt, and hard cheese. The word cottage cheese came into Russian speech to distinguish between the name of rennet cheeses, the production of which was borrowed from the countries of central Europe: Holland, France and Germany - and soft cheese - cottage cheese. In Ukrainian, cottage cheese is still called cheese, but in Russian it is preserved only in our wonderful cheesecakes.

Classic cheesecakes are made from premium wheat flour, as an option - semolina, eggs and some fruit additives - for everyone. These can be fresh fruits (apples, pears) or dried fruits (raisins, dried apricots or prunes). Vanilla or mint are used as additives.

Cheesecakes, according to your preference, can be with or without added sugar - moderately salted. Housewives usually fry cheesecakes in oil in a frying pan because of the speed of their cooking. It is also possible to bake them in the oven or steam them - everything should be delicious. Both salty and sweet cheesecakes can be eaten with sour cream. Sweets are also served with jam, honey, fruit jams, condensed milk or cocoa. Ketchup or mayonnaise go well with unsweetened cheesecakes.

What products are needed for cheesecakes?

To prepare cheesecakes of impeccable quality, you will first need high-quality cheese, without strong sourness, which must be softened to a paste: pass through a blender, through a fine mesh meat grinder, or grind through a sieve.

If the cottage cheese lacks juiciness, you need to dilute it with a small amount of milk, cream or even kefir. And only into this airy and plastic curd mass add the egg, sugar and flour or semolina.

These cheesecakes are the optimal breakfast in all respects: they are quick and easy to prepare and can be a hearty meal for the whole family, especially children. Offer them a variety of additives in the form of powdered sugar, jam, preserves, sour cream, yogurt and condensed milk.

If you prefer to cook cheesecakes with semolina, you will have to get up half an hour earlier. It is for half an hour that you need to set aside the cheesecake dough so that the semolina swells. Such cheesecakes will be more fluffy and airy.

Ingredients:

  • fresh cottage cheese - 400-500 grams;
  • chicken eggs - 2 pieces;
  • flour - 100 grams both for the dough and for sprinkling;
  • granulated sugar - 4 tablespoons;
  • vanilla sugar - 1 sachet;
  • a mixture of ghee and vegetable oil for frying;
  • salt - to taste.

According to the classic recipe, prepare cheesecakes like this:

  1. Bring the cottage cheese to a curd paste in any way convenient for you. Add raw eggs to this mixture. If you prefer to use only yolks in this case, you will need at least three eggs. Mix everything in bulk and combine it with cottage cheese, knead thoroughly.
  2. Take the finished dough with a tablespoon, roll it in wheat flour and, giving it the shape of a flat cake, place it in a frying pan with boiling oil. Cheese pancakes should be fried, covered, over low heat, until golden brown on both sides.

Serve hot with your preferred sweet sauce of jam, jam or sour cream.

Homemade cheesecake recipe without eggs

This recipe is especially for those lovers of cheesecakes who, due to an allergy to chicken eggs, need to exclude them. The matter is fixable - eggs can be completely eliminated, but then the requirements for the curd mass change - the cottage cheese must be of moderate moisture so that the cheesecakes do not fall apart during the frying process.

Too juicy cottage cheese should be placed in a gauze bag in a colander under pressure. As soon as the excess whey has drained, you can begin preparing cheesecakes as usual according to the general rules.

Ingredients:

  • cottage cheese - 500 grams;
  • wheat flour - 4-5 tablespoons;
  • raisins - 2 tablespoons;
  • oil for frying - how much will be needed;
  • sour cream - to taste;
  • table salt - 1 pinch.

According to the home recipe, prepare cheesecakes without eggs as follows:

  1. Mix the ground and not very juicy non-acidic cottage cheese with salt, sugar, flour and knead thoroughly. Adding a pinch of soda is not advisable. Take the dough for cutting with a spoon. Roll it in flour and make cottage cheese cakes.
  2. Place the finished flatbreads in boiling oil in a frying pan, fry on both sides until golden brown and, under the lid, so that the cheesecakes are completely baked, simmer them over low heat.
  3. If you prefer to cook cheesecakes without a lid, you need to bake them in the oven on a baking sheet for 10-15 minutes at 180 C.

Diet recipe for cheesecakes in the oven

The taste of cheesecakes baked in the oven is not much different from those fried in a frying pan. However, they were prepared with a minimal amount of oil, just grease the baking sheet, and bake gradually, with the smell of baked milk, and the result is a delicious, almost dietary dish.

This cooking method makes it possible to bake beautiful curly cheesecakes; if you put the dough in muffin tins, children will definitely like it.

The ingredients of such cheesecakes include both flour and semolina, but if the cottage cheese is dry, choose only flour. Overmoistened cottage cheese requires semolina, with which it should be mixed and left for at least 1 hour. Then knead it with the addition of all the recipe products. If you feed cheesecakes to children, then instead of baking powder - bite soda, or even without them at all.

Ingredients:

  • cottage cheese - 400 grams;
  • semolina - 2 tablespoons;
  • flour - 4-5 tablespoons;
  • granulated sugar - 3-4 tablespoons;
  • fresh chicken egg - 1 piece;
  • baking powder for dough - 1 teaspoon;
  • sour cream - to taste.

We prepare cheesecakes in the oven like this:

  1. Prepare the dough for such cheesecakes from a mixture of well-ground fresh cottage cheese, semolina, fresh chicken egg and flour mixed with baking powder. To make the cheesecakes easier to mold, there is a temptation to add more flour, but their taste will suffer - they may be “rubbery”. Therefore, the flour goes strictly according to the recipe.
  2. To make cheesecakes easier to make, you need to take the dough in small portions with a spoon and roll it in flour, roll it into a ball in your palms, flatten it and place it on a greased baking sheet covered with baking paper. Once all the cheesecakes are on the baking sheet, coat each of them with sour cream.
  3. By this time, the oven has been preheated to 180 C, and carefully place a baking sheet with cheesecakes in it for 30-40 minutes. Serve hot with sour cream or whatever you prefer.

Cheesecakes according to this recipe will definitely appeal to those who are either not a fan of sweets at all, or are limited in their health by eating them, or simply to everyone who loves delicious concoctions.

In the dough of such salty cheesecakes you can include not only any greens to your liking, but even vegetables. It can be parsley, fresh dill, fresh chopped garlic (for everyone).

  3. Fry the prepared cheesecakes in boiling oil in a thick-walled frying pan with a thick bottom - first without a lid until golden brown on both sides, and then simmer over low heat under the lid so that both the curd and vegetable components are well baked. You can serve cheesecakes without sugar with sour cream and mayonnaise.

Original recipe for Lviv cheesecakes

This rather peculiar dish of cottage cheese causes controversy in its recognition. Some tend to consider it a cheesecake, others - a pie. We insist - this is still a cheesecake, with its shape destroying the stereotype of ordinary cheesecakes. The shape is like a gold bar, very attractive. The recipe for such a cheesecake came from Lviv confectioners and promises that the cheesecake will turn out very tasty, but it must be prepared according to all the rules.

Our recipe is obviously different from many other options, so it’s worth preparing Lviv cheesecake according to this recipe and comparing which is better. To add an appetizing yellow color, add 1 teaspoon of turmeric or saffron to the dough. This will not only decorate, but also add a certain shade of taste and aroma.

Ingredients:

  • fat cottage cheese - 500 grams;
  • granulated sugar - 0.5 cups;
  • butter - 100 grams;
  • semolina - 1 tablespoon;
  • lemon zest - 1 lemon;
  • raisins and nuts - by preference;
  • vanilla sugar - 1 sachet.

for glaze:

  • fresh milk - 3 tablespoons;
  • fresh sour cream - 3 tablespoons;
  • granulated sugar - 3 tablespoons;
  • cocoa powder - 2 tablespoons;
  • butter - 30-50 grams.

We prepare Lviv cheesecakes like this:

  1. Grind the existing cottage cheese using any available method to a paste. You need to choose cottage cheese without excess moisture. Otherwise, the baked cheesecake will turn out to be unnecessary dense, losing its intended airiness.
  2. Separate fresh eggs into whites and yolks into different containers. Beat the yolks with sugar using a mixer, combine them with lemon zest, semolina and softened butter. Using a mixer at low speed, mix the resulting mass. Beat the whites separately with a mixer and also add them to the main curd mass, then carefully (so that the whites retain air) use a spoon to mix the resulting dough with the whipped whites. If desired, you can add soaked raisins to the dough.
  3. Grease a baking dish suitable for baking and dust it with flour or line it with baking paper. Place the Lviv cheesecake, formed in the form of a gold bar, into a baking dish, put it in the oven and bake it at 180 C for 50-60 minutes. Remove the pan with the cheesecake from the oven only when it has cooled completely.
  4. The cooled cheesecake is removed from the mold and placed on a plate. Now it's time for the glaze, for which you should dissolve the butter, add granulated sugar and grind until the sugar dissolves. Combine the resulting mixture with cocoa powder and milk and boil the whole mass with stirring for no more than 2 minutes. All that remains is to distribute the glaze evenly on the sides and over the entire surface of the Lviv cheesecake. This cheesecake will be finally ready in at least 5 hours, after which it can be beautifully cut and served to all household members and guests.

To successfully fry cheesecakes, you must first heat a dry frying pan, pour in the required amount of vegetable oil, bring it to a boil, reduce the heat and lay out the prepared batch of cheesecakes, which are fried on both sides until golden brown without a lid. After this, turn the heat to minimum and simmer the fried cheesecakes under the lid for some time. Those who love particularly aromatic cheesecakes can add chopped fresh mint or currant leaves to the dough.

It is impossible to save oil when frying cheesecakes - they must be deep-fried, otherwise burning is difficult to avoid - saving will be wasteful! And the best ones are prepared in the oven without any oil at all and in silicone molds to avoid burning.

Cottage cheese, or as we are used to hearing in the kitchen, cheesecakes, is an adored dish not only of many adults, but even of our picky children. You can cook them deep-fried or in the oven, in a frying pan or in a double boiler, but only one thing remains unchanged - the benefits of eating this dish are quite great. There are a million cooking options, but the subtleties and secrets are different for everyone, although they can be collected in one article, which is what we did for our readers.

Secrets and options for making curds from cottage cheese

Finding out the secret of making delicious cottage cheese from professional chefs is unrealistic, although what does their opinion mean compared to the ability of our mothers and grandmothers to prepare this dish. Here, based on this, we can highlight several secret points for preparing cheesecakes:

  • Before preparing cheesecakes, choose fresh cottage cheese, preferably homemade, and squeeze it well to remove excess moisture. The less whey remains, the better and more satisfying the final product will be. Moreover, the drier the cottage cheese, the less flour you will have to add to it, which means the healthier the cheesecakes will be.
  • To make the cheesecakes super tender, especially for children, the cottage cheese can be rubbed through a sieve or blended in a blender until smooth. This will make your dish lighter and more pleasant to taste; the consistency of the cottage cheese is very important!
  • To avoid adding flour, be sure to add an egg; depending on preferences and diet, you can add a yolk or white (for those who want to lose weight).
  • Cheesecakes will not turn out whole and fluffy if they contain a lot of sugar, so it is better to add natural flavoring - a pinch of vanilla or cinnamon, banana.
  • Cook with vegetable oil
  • Flour can be replaced with starch, semolina, and ground oatmeal.

They add flour and starch, semolina as a cocoa sweetener, vanilla, fruits, berries and dried fruits, and also make them salty, with dill and other herbs.

Cottage cheese is prepared almost the same everywhere, mixing pressed cottage cheese with an egg and flour or its substitutes, but the method of preparation is different for everyone.
