Why are syrniki called that way, even though cheese is rarely used in the preparation of this dish?
The answer is simple: our ancestors called cottage cheese "cheese". Hence the strange, at first glance, name of the dish.
However, cheese can still be made into one of the ingredients for syrniki.
Moreover, some housewives always do this. After all, an unusual component significantly improves the dish.
The expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova explained why grated cheese is added to the base for syrniki.
What do cheesecakes with cheese turn out like?
There are three reasons to make cheese one of the components of the base for a traditional morning dish.
Firstly, due to such an addition, the syrniki will be much more filling. This means that thanks to breakfast a person will get a lot of energy.
Secondly, stretchy cheese significantly improves the consistency of the dish. The dish turns out unusual.
Thirdly, the non-standard ingredient makes the syrniki much more appetizing: the taste is very bright.
How to Properly Add Cheese to Syrniki
If you plan to put cheese in the base for syrniki, then refuse to add sugar. But it is worth using salt, ground pepper and herbs.
For 200 grams of cottage cheese, two tablespoons of flour and one raw egg, there should be 80 grams of cheese. The product should be pre-crushed using a grater.
