Syrniki (cheesecakes) Leis frozen, 300g

Syrniki are a dish from East Slavic cuisine (Ukraine, Belarus, Russia) that has been known since the 19th century; the name derives from the word *syr* (meaning "curd" or "cottage cheese"). The classic recipe consists of curd cheese, an egg, a little flour or semolina, and sugar; they are pan-fried and served with sour cream, jam, honey, or berries.

Benefits (and nuances):

• Protein and calcium: Since curd cheese is the main ingredient, syrniki provide high-quality dairy protein and calcium (important for bones and muscles)
• Energy: Due to the flour and sugar, the calorie count is higher than that of plain curd cheese; a 300g portion can be quite filling
• Fat and sugar: These depend on the specific recipe and the frying method used
• How to make them healthier: Cook in a non-stick pan with minimal oil, reduce the sugar, and serve with berries or yogurt instead of sweet toppings
