Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Cottage Cheese: Place the cottage cheese in a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Gently press down to remove excess moisture. Let it drain for approximately 1 hour to achieve the desired consistency.

02

Step

Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Add the drained cottage cheese, melted butter, flour, and salt. Mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a light and airy texture. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Cook the Pancakes: Heat a teaspoon of butter in a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, drop large spoonfuls of batter onto the skillet, leaving space between each pancake. Sprinkle blueberries evenly over the batter. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Flip and Finish: Cook the pancakes until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the second side is also golden brown and the pancakes are cooked through. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Serve Immediately: Serve the cottage cheese pancakes hot off the skillet. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

For best results, use a non-stick skillet to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
If the batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or water to reach the desired consistency.
Feel free to experiment with different berries or toppings, such as raspberries, strawberries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated gently.

    I didn't have blueberries, so I used raspberries instead. They were just as good!
