Cottage cheese with cheese, egg, and herbs is a delicate and aromatic dish of Russian cuisine that combines simplicity and sophistication. The origins of this recipe trace back to traditional peasant breakfasts when fresh products were used to create nutritious and hearty meals. The taste of the dish is harmonious: soft cottage cheese adds tenderness, eggs provide lightness, cheese brings richness, and herbs add freshness. Adjika adds a spicy note that emphasizes the depth of flavor. The uniqueness of this recipe lies in the cooking method: layers of cottage cheese mixture with cheese are simmered in a pan with juicy tomatoes, creating an appetizing golden crust. This dish is perfect for breakfast or a light dinner and pairs wonderfully with rye bread and fresh vegetables.
