Servings

• 
  230 g cottage cheese (Slovenian zrnata skuta)
• 
  2 pc egg

Method

1. The method is very quick, so start by turning the oven on to 175 °C (fan).
2. Mix the cottage cheese and eggs well into a completely smooth mixture; use a blender or another mixing tool.
3. Line a baking tray with baking paper and pour the mixture onto it. Take care to spread it into a rectangle, as this makes it easiest to roll up evenly later. With the quantities given, we made a rectangle of about 20 × 30 cm.
   
4. Bake for 25–30 minutes in the preheated oven at 175 °C (fan). Baking time varies from oven to oven; the pancake is done when it turns golden brown.
5. Straight away, lift the baked pancake out of the tray together with the baking paper, cover it with a tea towel and leave it to cool. It will then come away from the paper easily.
   
6. Top the cooled pancake with your favourite fillings and roll it up.

Note

• Spread the pancake with any spread you like, or fill it with avocado, sautéed mushrooms, cold meats, sprouts or salad leaves.
• Cooling it under a tea towel helps it come away from the baking paper easily.
• Equipment: oven, blender, baking paper.
