   How to make cutlets with cottage cheese and minced meat? Prepare the ingredients. You can use ready-made minced meat or make it yourself from fresh meat. You can use one pork or beef, or mixed minced meat.

2. STEP 2

   

   Particular attention should be paid to the cottage cheese, which we will use in making cutlets. Of course, it’s better to take a natural rustic one, it’s tastier and easier to work with. But store-bought ones of any fat content will do, it’s a matter of taste.

3. STEP 3

   

   The main thing is to prepare it correctly. If it is too dry and consists of large grains, it must be turned into a paste-like mass, otherwise the taste and appearance of the cutlets will be spoiled by the pieces of cottage cheese that come across. To do this, rub it through a sieve or punch it with an immersion blender. Beat in the egg and mash until smooth. Wash the egg first to remove any dirt.

6. STEP 6

   

   With hands moistened with cold water, form cutlets and roll them in wheat flour. Flour can be replaced with breadcrumbs, then the cutlets will acquire a crispier golden brown crust when fried.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour vegetable oil into the frying pan. Turn on the fire. Heat the oil. Cutlets can be prepared for future use by freezing them. How to choose a frying pan and vegetable oil, read articles on these topics, the link is at the end of this recipe.

Cutlets with cottage cheese and minced meat are, to be honest, a completely new recipe for me and it was very interesting to try this combination. I took cottage cheese in a pack of 5%, my minced pork (I pre-rolled the meat). I added onion minced through a meat grinder, two cloves of garlic, and cottage cheese to the minced meat. I broke the egg, added salt and pepper and mixed it well, then lightly beat the minced meat. Formed cutlets and fried them in a frying pan on both sides. Well, I want to say, the cutlets are very tender, juicy and tasty! I boiled rice as a side dish. I saved the recipe and will definitely make it again! Thanks Snezhana for such a great recipe and I recommend you try it.
