Add fat cottage cheese (not dry), sour cream, salt to taste. We mix everything. If the cottage cheese is dry, then add enough sour cream so that the mass for a spicy snack from cottage cheese in nut breading becomes viscous and balls can be rolled out of it. If the cottage cheese is wet, do not add sour cream. Instead, you can put softened butter - it will add fat and "glue" the ingredients together.
Grate the garlic on a fine grater. How much to put in a cottage cheese snack is a matter of taste. If you like spicy snacks, then add more garlic. But do not forget that you also cook for guests, let the spiciness be moderate.
By the way, if you like garlic, then we suggest you cook it.
We separate about a teaspoon of the curd mass and make even balls the size of a small walnut. If there is time, we remove the future cottage cheese snack in the refrigerator for half an hour.
While the curd balls are cooling, dry the walnuts in a dry frying pan. We do not clean the film, we shift the nuts into a blender.
Grind the nuts into small crumbs. Add black ground pepper and sweet paprika.

Cottage cheese + greens
As we have already mentioned, this combination is quite popular. We offer to prepare a very beautiful cream of greens and cottage cheese. For half a kilogram of dry curd we take 10 sprigs of cilantro, parsley, basil and dill. Finely chop the greens, put the cottage cheese in the blender bowl, salt, pour in two tablespoons heavy cream and add chopped herbs. Then stir everything until the mass becomes puree. The result is very beautiful dish amazing green color. If desired, they can fill, for example, tartlets. Cottage cheese puree can also be made spicy if you add the same garlic to it.
Potato + cottage cheese
Highly simple snack from cottage cheese, which belongs to the category of hot. Take a kilogram of potatoes, and it is desirable that the root crops be the same size. Cleanse and boil. While the potatoes are cooking, you need to grind the cottage cheese (a sachet weighing 200 g will be enough) with a tablespoon of butter, a pinch of salt and the same amount of pepper. Add finely chopped greens to the mass. Cut the finished potatoes into halves, and lengthwise. And then put the curd mass on each piece. And serve immediately.
Appetizer with salmon
We take three hundred grams of salmon (you can replace it with any other red fish), chop finely, mix with a 200-gram bag of certainly dry cottage cheese. Adding a couple of spoons olive oil. Then add finely chopped dill. Knead. Further - at will. You can stuff tartlets, or you can spread pita bread with paste and roll it into a roll. Or just make sandwiches with white bread.

Eggs ... from cottage cheese
Smoked ham (a piece weighing 200 g will be enough) finely cut with a knife. In a blender, mix half a kilogram of cottage cheese with three tablespoons of soft butter, chopped green onions and a couple of tablespoons of thick sour cream. Add ham. A piece hard cheese grate. Then sculpt oval dumplings from the curd mass, roll each one in. In order for the resulting “eggs” to keep their shape, they must be put in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Such a cottage cheese snack, however, like many others, can also be used as a pasta for sandwiches.
Boats of cucumbers
We take cucumbers, cut along.
We cut off the bottom of each half so that the products are stable. We get the pulp. And we fill the vacant place with the curd mass, ground in a blender along with cucumber pulp, a few cloves of garlic, a bunch of greens and one bell pepper. Such a cottage cheese appetizer is prepared not only with cucumbers. In the same way, you can make boats from eggplant or zucchini. Just before filling with stuffing, they (already cut, but with pulp) need to be baked either in the oven or in the microwave.
Curd balls in chocolate
And finally, a sweet one.
If you take our recipe as a basis, and then replace or add ingredients at your discretion, you can always get a new curd treat. As for the basic version: add a tablespoon of sour cream and sugar (or, say, honey or syrup) to the cottage cheese (the same 200 g). Mix thoroughly. Put a tablespoon of the mass on the palm of your hand, make a cake. Then we take any suitable dried fruit (for example, pitted dates, prunes or dried apricots) or nuts (the same almonds). We put it in the middle and form a ball. Which then needs to be rolled in grated chocolate (black, milk, mixed with coconut flakes). Then sweet snack from cottage cheese for an hour goes to the refrigerator.
