Cheesecakes with Suluguni and Mint

3 servings

20 minutes

Cheese pancakes with suluguni and mint are a harmony of traditional Russian cuisine with hints of Georgian flavor. The delicate cottage cheese combines with spicy suluguni, creating a rich, slightly salty taste that is beautifully complemented by the refreshing aroma of mint. Baked in the oven, the pancakes acquire a golden crust while remaining soft inside. They are served as a standalone dish or with honey and sour cream, enjoying every bite. Historically, cheese pancakes were part of Russian breakfasts, and the addition of suluguni and greens gives them an unusual sound. They are perfect for a light yet hearty meal, surprising with their blend of classic and originality.
