Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil, for frying

Method
 

  1. Stir together the cottage cheese, egg, flour, scallions, salt, and pepper in a bowl until evenly combined.
  2. Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a plate of flour and gently shape into flat discs, lightly coating both sides with flour.
  3. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, then fry the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deep golden and firm.
  4. Drain briefly on a paper towel, transfer to a plate, and serve immediately.

Notes

If the mixture feels too wet to shape, stir in another tablespoon of flour. Be gentle when flipping the patties, and serve them as soon as they come out of the pan for the crispiest crust.
