Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams cottage cheese or farmer's cheese
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams butter
- 50 grams breadcrumbs
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, flour, egg, and salt. Mix thoroughly until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.
Using a tablespoon or your hands, form small dumplings (about the size of a walnut) from the dough. If needed, keep your hands slightly floured to prevent sticking.
Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water. Cook for about 8–10 minutes or until the dumplings float to the surface.
While the dumplings are cooking, melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast them until golden and fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Once the dumplings are cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a serving plate.
Pour the toasted breadcrumb mixture over the dumplings and serve warm. Enjoy your quick Slovenian cheese dumplings!
