How to cook Cheese cakes with herbs, on kefir

Step 1

For the filling, remove the hard stems from the greens and finely chop the leaves. Finely chop the green onion. Heat a little butter in a frying pan and fry the herbs and onions in it over low heat, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, salt and pepper.

Step 2

For the dough, grate the cheese on a fine grater. Set aside about a quarter for the filling. Add soda, salt and sugar to kefir, mix.

Step 3

Pour the sifted flour and grated cheese into kefir, knead the dough. Add vegetable oil, knead until smooth. Cover with cling film and let rest in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.

Step 4

Pour the reserved cheese into the cooled filling. Divide the dough into equal parts weighing about 40 g. Roll each piece into a cake, sprinkle with herbs, fold in half, pinch the edges and gently roll again.

Step 5

Fry the tortillas in a dry heavy-bottomed pan (ideally cast iron) until brown spots on both sides. Grease the finished cakes immediately with oil, stack and keep warm until serving.
