Cottage cheesecakes with basil and mozzarella

About recipe

I suggest you make delicious savory curd pastries with mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. It is incredibly tasty! Cheesecakes are suitable for breakfast, snack or dinner. These cheesecakes are different from the usual ones made from a single cottage cheese. Added mozzarella cheese gives a creamy, pleasant taste. The aroma of fresh basil perfectly complements the already prepared cheesecakes, especially for those who love it. And the extra ingredients with which I offer to serve cheesecakes will make your breakfast, dinner or snack a real masterpiece! This dish is for real gourmets! Be sure to use dry cottage cheese without excess whey. Semolina can be replaced with flour, bran or psyllium. One mozzarella cheese ball can be replaced with mini mozzarella. If the mass does not crumble, then increase the amount of semolina and use flour for frying. You can bake cheesecakes in any oil or bake them in the oven.
