Savory Kefir Fritters with Herbs and Cheese

For breakfast or dinner for the whole family. These kefir fritters with herbs and cheese are a great way to use up herbs that are starting to wilt, along with leftover cheese and kefir. And their biggest selling point in our house: my husband, who can't stand yeast baking, happily eats them.

Cooking method

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    How do you make kefir fritters with herbs and cheese? Here are the ingredients. Feel free to add any greens you like.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Hard-boil the four eggs, cool them, and chop them fine.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Finely chop all the herbs.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Grate the cheese on the fine side of a grater.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Now for the batter. Stir the kefir together with the sour cream and warm it until it's nicely warm to the touch. Add the baking soda and a pinch of salt, crack in the two eggs, and stir — everything should bubble up. Add the flour and mix into a batter.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Stir in the egg-herb-cheese filling. If it's too thick, add a little more kefir. The batter should scoop up on a spoon and slide off it rather than run.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet and cook small fritters over medium heat, about three or four minutes per side. This amount of batter makes about 20 fritters.

  8. Step 8:

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    They're also lovely with a cup of sweet tea. Enjoy!
