Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make cottage cheese in the oven? Prepare your food. Take the cottage cheese not crumbly, but soft, otherwise the curds will fall apart. The most delicious cheesecakes are made from fatty cottage cheese. Choose high-quality cottage cheese, without milk fat substitutes. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste. I put it all in, it was sweet. Oil is used for frying. In Soviet times, margarine was used. You can also fry it on a vegetable oil.

Step 2

Step 2
Break the egg into a bowl and beat it with a fork until the yolk and white are mixed. Separate half the egg; you wonʼt need it. Pour the egg into a large bowl, put cottage cheese, sugar and 2/3 of all the flour there, the rest will be used for rolling the cheesecakes. I always add a little salt, a small pinch. This makes the cheesecakes taste brighter.

Step 3

Step 3
Mix the dough well with a spoon or your hands.

Step 4

Step 4
Sprinkle the board with flour. Place the dough on it and form it into a sausage about 6 cm thick. Roll it in flour on all sides.

Step 5

Step 5
Cut the sausage into discs of equal width. It’s better to make 8-9 cheesecakes from one serving; then they will be the ideal size — they fit well in the frying pan and are easy to turn over. I first mark the middle, then divide each half in half again, and so on. This will make cutting much more convenient.

Step 6

Step 6
Place flour on a plate and start forming cheesecakes. Place each puck flat and flour the top and bottom. Using a circular motion, hem the edges to create a perfect shape. It is convenient to do this with a glass of suitable diameter. The cheesecake is ready.

Step 7

Step 7
Form the entire portion of curds in this way.

Step 8

Step 8
Heat a frying pan, put butter on it and melt it over low heat. Place cheesecakes on the pan.

Step 9

Step 9
Fry them over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.

Step 10

Step 10
Place the cheesecakes in a mold or on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. If your frying pan can be placed in the oven, then leave the cheesecakes directly in it. Mine isn’t allowed, that’s why I have a uniform. Bake the cheesecakes for another 7 minutes in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees. Serve them hot with sour cream, jam or condensed milk.
