Particular attention should be paid to the cottage cheese, which we will use in making cutlets. Of course, it’s better to take a natural rustic one, it’s tastier and easier to work with. But store-bought ones of any fat content will do, it’s a matter of taste.

The main thing is to prepare it correctly. If it is too dry and consists of large grains, it must be turned into a paste-like mass, otherwise the taste and appearance of the cutlets will be spoiled by the pieces of cottage cheese that come across. To do this, rub it through a sieve or punch it with an immersion blender. Beat in the egg and mash until smooth. Wash the egg first to remove any dirt.
