Buckwheat cutlets with cheese are a hearty and aromatic dish from Russian cuisine. Buckwheat, rich in proteins and beneficial microelements, has long been a staple in many Russian dishes. In these cutlets, its soft texture harmonizes with the spiciness of onion and garlic, while the melted cheese inside adds tenderness and depth of flavor. Baked in the oven, they retain their lightness and require no extra oil. Such cutlets are an excellent option for vegetarian meals, especially when paired with fresh vegetables and a light yogurt sauce. They can be served as a standalone dish or as an addition to salads, creating a rich and balanced meal. The taste of buckwheat enriched with spices makes each cutlet expressive, while the melted cheese stretches pleasantly, adding the cozy warmth of home cooking.
