The recipe yields 10 total servings which is the perfect amount to complement lunches, as finger foods or as a snack while watching television.
Ingredients:
· ¼ cup of matzo meal
· ¼ cup of white sugar
· ¼ cup of vegetable oil
· ½ teaspoon of salt
· 1 8 ounce container of cottage cheese
· 40 saltine crackers
· 2 eggs
Directions:
The first step involves stirring the cottage cheese, matzo, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Next, place 1 tablespoon of the cottage cheese onto a crack then place another cracker on top and press down. Set these cracker sandwiches aside until later. After, thoroughly beat the eggs in a bowl.
The next step is to heat the vegetable oil in a skillet with medium heat. Next, dip both sides of the filled cracker sandwiches into the well-beaten egg and place onto the heated oil. Finally, pan fry each of the 20 cracker sandwiches on both sides until they turn golden brown. This will take approximately 1 to 2 minutes for each side of the cracker snack. This recipe is meant to be served hot but can be refrigerated and served cold for later.
Other types of cheese can be used as an alternative to cottage cheese for a different type of filling. Ricotta mixed with honey is an excellent substitution or mixed fruit into the cheese. Also, bread crumbs can be used in place of matzo meal.
