Description
It works for both holidays and everyday meals. In 20 minutes you can make a tasty, airy cottage cheese spread for lunch or even a festive table. I highly recommend making the cheese exactly according to this recipe. You can serve it on bread, crackers, in tartlets, and even in lavash. Moreover, this appetizer will not only dress up a festive table but also makes a great quick tea-time snack. The appetizer is ready. Serve right away.
