Step 3
Add the protein and mix everything well again. The amount of protein depends on the size of the chicken egg; you may need a little more. If your cottage cheese is fatty, you can add a bit of quick‑cooking oatmeal to the mixture. It will absorb the excess liquid, and the mixture will become denser.

Step 5
Thoroughly heat the vegetable oil in the pan. Make sure there is only a little of it, just enough to coat the pan. Place the pieces into the hot oil. If you place them into cold oil, the cheese pancakes will absorb the oil and spread out on the pan.
