Zucchini-cheese pancakes are a delicate and aromatic dish of Russian cuisine that harmoniously combines the softness of zucchini with the rich flavor of cheese. Their history is rooted in the traditions of home cooking, where housewives aimed to create simple yet exquisite treats from available ingredients. The pancakes have a crispy golden crust while remaining soft and juicy inside. The taste is gently cheesy with a hint of freshness from herbs, and serving them with sour cream emphasizes their softness and makes the dish even more appetizing. These pancakes can be served as a standalone dish or as a side to meat and vegetables, as well as used as a base for snacks. They are perfect for a cozy family breakfast or light dinner, delighting with their flavor and simplicity of preparation.
