Garlic cheese pancakes with spinach are an original take on classic pancakes, filled with the aroma of fresh garlic and the tenderness of spinach. This recipe comes from Russian cuisine, where cottage cheese holds a special place in traditional dishes. The harmony of flavors – the softness of the cottage cheese, the mild spiciness of garlic, and the freshness of spinach – makes these pancakes an ideal addition to breakfast or dinner. They can be baked in the oven or fried in a pan for a crispy crust and rich flavor. They can be served as a standalone dish or as a side that pairs well with light salads, red fish, or vegetables. This is a great option for those looking to diversify classic Russian cuisine by adding a touch of freshness and aroma.
