Ingredients

• 400 g cottage cheese
• 1 piece large egg
• 60 g all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon stevia or erythritol (optional)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Place the cottage cheese in a mixing bowl and use a fork or spatula to break it up until smooth, draining any excess liquid if necessary.

Step 2

Add the egg to the cottage cheese and mix until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, and mix thoroughly.

Step 4

Gradually add in the flour, mixing until a soft, non-sticky dough forms. If desired, add a teaspoon of stevia or erythritol for sweetness.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten gently to form a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Place the syrniki in the hot skillet, leaving some space between them. Cook in batches if necessary.

Step 8

Fry the syrniki for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and firm, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

Step 9

Once cooked, transfer the syrniki to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the sugar-free syrniki warm, with your choice of toppings such as Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, or a natural fruit spread.
