Ingredients

Scale

1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)

3 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1–2 teaspoons olive oil or butter

1 tablespoon fresh herbs (chives, dill, parsley), finely chopped

2 tablespoons shredded cheese (Parmesan or mozzarella)

Instructions

1. Blend the batter in a blender or food processor until mostly smooth, leaving small curds for texture if desired.

2. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow baking powder to work and the ingredients to combine fully.

3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and brush lightly with butter or olive oil.

4. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the skillet and spread gently into even circles.

5. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges turn golden, then flip and cook the other side until golden and firm.

6. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and serve warm with desired toppings.
