Ingredients
200 g (about 1 cup) cottage cheese
1 large egg
60 g (about ½ cup) hard cheese (cheddar, gouda, or similar), grated
A handful of chopped green onions, dill, parsley, or other herbs (to taste)
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite spices (to taste)
30 g (about ¼ cup) rice flour (adjust depending on moisture)

Step-by-Step Cooking Directions
Prepare the mixture
In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese and egg. Use a fork or spatula to mix until smooth and evenly blended.
Add in the grated hard cheese and mix well. The cheese adds richness and savory flavor while helping bind the dough.
Stir in your chosen herbs (like dill or green onions) and seasonings. This is where you can get creative—try garlic powder, Italian herbs, smoked paprika, or chili flakes depending on your flavor profile.
