Quick and tasty casserole of cottage cheese and pita bread. A bit like pancakes with cottage cheese or pancakes, but requires much less effort.

Products for casseroles:

1 lavash
2 packs of cottage cheese 200 gr each (total 400 gr cottage cheese)
2 eggs (if the eggs are large, or the cottage cheese is watery, then 1 egg is enough)
100 gr sugar
1 pinch of vanilla
Butter for greasing the pan

Sugar had to be photographed separately because I forgot to add it to the products chosen for the casserole 🙂

In general, it is better to add sugar and vanilla, focusing on your preferences, because someone likes it sweeter, but someone does not.

1 Making the stuffing

Mix cottage cheese with sugar, vanilla and eggs. Add 1 egg first, mix and look at the consistency of the filling. If it turned out to be watery, then the second egg is no longer needed.

2 Put the stuffing on the pita bread

We unfold the pita bread and put half of the filling on the half of the pita bread. So that the filling does not flow out, I advise you to tuck the edges.

3 Fold the pita bread

Fold the pita bread in half. If it seems to you that there is not enough filling around the edges, then slightly open the edges and add a couple of tablespoons of cottage cheese there.

4 Add the rest of the filling

Again, spread the filling on pita bread. This time you can spread it all over the pita bread, at least it’s more convenient for me.

5 Folding pita bread

Fold the pita bread in half again.

6 Cut pita bread

I usually cut the resulting blank in half. I put one part in a frying pan, and wrap the other in the paper on which I made the casserole, and put it in the refrigerator. Then, at any time, you can get it and bake it. Do not press too hard on the knife so that all the cottage cheese does not flow out of the pita bread.

7 Fry pita bread

We heat the pan, grease it with butter, put the casserole and cover with a lid.

Fry over medium heat, covered. You don’t need to fry the pita bread too much, it’s enough to hold it for 5 minutes on each side. If the filling leaked out a little during cutting, then when frying, the sugar from the filling may burn a little. This is not critical, and can always be removed after frying.

8 Waiting 10 minutes

After frying the casserole, remove the pan from the heat and wait another 10 minutes without removing the lid. This is necessary so that the fried pita soaks and becomes soft. But if you prefer crispy dough, skip this step.

Ready!

Sweet pita and cottage cheese casserole is ready!

Actually, it's not my idea. I spied on this recipe from one of the bloggers a few years ago and have been making it from memory for a long time. Now, unfortunately, I can not find that blog. If you know the author of the recipe, tell me, please, I will write about it with pleasure.

The cake is salty, soft, tender, moist. Can be served with both coffee and beer. I liked it better when it was warm.

250~300g cheese,
1.5 cups of kefir,
2 eggs

Chatter eggs with kefir.
Break the pita leaf in half.
Pour 2~3 tablespoons of kefir mixture onto half a sheet and spread evenly (it is convenient to spread with a culinary brush).
Lay in a mold with a diameter of 20 cm so that the pita bread follows the contours of the mold.

Do the same with the second half of the pita bread - spread and put in a mold.
Pour about 1/3 cup of kefir mixture.
Mix the remaining kefir mass with grated cheese.
Put half of the cheese mass into a mold and close it with the hanging ends of the top sheet of pita bread.

Lay out the second part of the cheese. Close the edges of the bottom sheet of pita bread.
Coat the top with cast kefir mass.

Put in the oven at t=200~220°C until the surface is browned (~10 minutes).

Put a sheet of pita bread in a baking sheet, grease with filling,

again pita stuffing, etc. , until we use all the pita bread and the filling. The top should be a layer of pita bread.

Bake at 180 * C for about 15 minutes (this time is enough for the cheese to melt and seize, and the edges of the pie become crispy.

I took "Russian", but with cheese "Gouda" it will be just delicious.
Lubricate the cake with mayonnaise, a thin layer,

not to be too annoying. Now sprinkle with cheese. The bigger, the better.

5. Dip a sheet of pita bread into the milk-egg mixture and put it on the bottom of the mold.

6. Sprinkle a sheet of pita bread with grated cheese.

7. Close with a second sheet of pita soaked in the mixture. Top evenly distribute a little cottage cheese and chopped herbs. For this cake, crumbly cottage cheese with grains or grained cottage cheese is well suited.

8. Alternate the layers of cheese and cottage cheese in this way until the entire pita bread is finished. Sprinkle the top sheet of pita bread generously with cheese.

9. Bake puff pastry cake in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 20 - 30 minutes until golden brown.
