To prepare these delicious cheese donuts, start by mixing all types of cheese in a large bowl. You can use cottage cheese, telemea, or feta cheese, depending on your preferences. Make sure the cheeses are well crumbled so they integrate perfectly into the mixture. Once the cheeses are homogenized, add the whole eggs, which will provide extra flavor and consistency. Gradually incorporate the flour, mixing continuously to avoid lumps. After adding the flour, also add the freshly chopped dill. This ingredient will bring a fragrant and fresh note to the dish. The resulting mixture should be thicker, so it can be easily shaped. If you notice that it is too soft, do not hesitate to add a little semolina, which will help firm up the mixture.
Once the mixture is ready, sprinkle the work surface with flour or use a floured nylon sheet. Take a heaping tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into a roll about 2 cm thick. From these rolls, form balls, which you will carefully roll in flour to prevent sticking. Place all the formed balls on the work surface, ensuring they are well spaced.
To fry the donuts, heat a 1-liter pot with oil. It is important to check the oil temperature to ensure it is at the right point. Do this by adding a small piece of the mixture, about the size of a corn kernel. If it rises quickly to the surface and starts to brown, the oil is ready for frying. Carefully place the donuts in the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd them, as they will expand during frying. Let them fry on one side until they turn golden and nicely browned, then flip them with a spatula to brown evenly on all sides.
Once the donuts are well fried, remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on absorbent paper to remove excess oil. These cheese donuts are delicious served hot, as an appetizer, alongside a fresh salad or flavorful sauces. The flavors of the cheeses combined with the fresh dill will create an irresistible dish, perfect for enjoying with family and friends. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses or spices to find the perfect combination that suits your tastes!
