Cheesecakes for breakfast, what could be tastier, healthier and more satisfying? These tender and airy cakes are loved by everyone, without exception, not even lovers of cottage cheese in an independent form. If you are tired of classic cheesecakes with raisins, I suggest making honey cheesecakes with semolina and orange zest. The main secret of this dish is that curd dough with cereals must be infused so that the semolina swells. Then grains of semolina will not be felt, and otherwise it will grind on your teeth.
Semolina syrniki perfectly keep their shape, do not spread in the pan, they turn out to be airy and fluffy. Cottage cheese in this recipe plays an important role. It should be of moderate humidity. Otherwise, if the product is very wet, then more semolina will have to be added. Then you get not cheese cakes, but manniki. Remove excess moisture from the curd by hanging it in gauze or put it in a colander so that all the whey is glass. Therefore, if the product is not suitable, then no tricks will help prepare a delicious dish.

Step-by-step preparation of orange-honey cheesecakes with semolina, recipe with photo:
1. Place the curd in a bowl for kneading the dough. It can be of any fat content from 0 to 9%. The fatter, the more satisfying the dish will turn out.
2. Add semolina to the curd.
3. Next, sprinkle with orange zest. I use it dried ground. But a zest of fresh fruit will do. Then grate the orange peel on a fine grater.
4. Add honey and a pinch of salt to the dough. If you are allergic to bee products, then replace honey with brown sugar or put your favorite jam for sweetness.
5. Stir the food and place the egg. Although in this recipe you can save on eggs. Since semolina serves as a binder here. But with eggs, cheesecakes will be tastier.
6. Knead the dough until smooth and smooth. It will be thicker than for conventional cheesecakes without cereals. Leave it to stand for half an hour to swell the semolina. During this time, the dough will noticeably increase in volume.
7. Powder your hands with flour and form small cheesecakes, which are laid out on a plate sprinkled with flour.
8. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat. Heat medium and add curd cakes to grill.
9. Fry them until golden brown and turn over to the other side, where bring them to readiness and blush. Serve ready-made cheese cakes with a scoop of ice cream, jam and various toppings. And for children, you can decorate them with chocolate icing.
