Syrniki with hard cheese and herbs
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. Such syrniki are not quite the usual dish. For the most part, homemakers prepare the sweet version of this lovely cottage cheese treat. However, sugar is not beneficial for everyone, and for some it is contraindicated. That is when these lovely, fluffy, golden-brown syrniki come to the rescue. Choose cottage cheese and cheese to your taste. Herbs are also up to you. The dish is simple and will not take much time. Take note: you can serve them with tea or coffee.
