Step 1:

First, cut the lavash into rectangular serving pieces. You can use the trimmings for something else — we want neat, even sheets of lavash here.
Step 2:

Put the farmer's cheese in a bowl — whatever fat content and texture you like (finely curded is best).
Step 3:

Add finely chopped fresh herbs (I use dill and green onion; parsley works too).
Step 4:

Grate your favorite cheese (coarse works, but since there's not much of it, I grate it fine).
Step 5:

Add the grated cheese, eggs, paprika, turmeric, and salt to taste to the farmer's cheese. You can also add black pepper for a little kick.
Step 6:

Mix until smooth. If your farmer's cheese is curdy like mine, crush it a bit as you mix so there aren't too many big curds — it'll spread more easily over the lavash.
Step 7:

Spread a thin layer of filling over a sheet of lavash.
Step 8:

Roll it up and press gently so the end stays put.
Step 9:

Here's how the rolls turn out — they're quite firm and shouldn't come unrolled.
Step 10:

Add vegetable oil to a skillet, heat it, and fry the rolls over medium heat on both sides until done. You can fry them plain, as they are, and they'll come out like this.
Step 11:

Or you can dip them in egg first, and they'll come out like this. Which way is tastier is up to you — try both and see! Enjoy!

Since I'm a lazy cook and prefer recipes that are tasty but simple, with no fussing around at the stove, these rolls make me happy with how easy and good they are. I make them often — everyone at home loves them and always asks for more. They're also fairly light on their own and can even fit into a diet.
This recipe leaves you with lavash trimmings, which I use to make some unusual little cakes that the whole family enjoys too — I'll share that recipe next time.
Enjoy, everyone!
