Got farmers cheese? Discover easy to make recipes using farmers cheese for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Today, I decided to dive into the world of cooking with farmer’s cheese. This is a kind of fresh cheese, and I’d heard a lot about it, so I figured, why not give it a shot? I started my day by looking up some recipes.
First, I gathered all my ingredients. I got some fresh farmer’s cheese from the local market. It looked like a crumbly, white block. I also picked up some milk, eggs, flour, and a few other things depending on what I planned to make.
Making Farmer’s Cheese Pancakes
I started with farmer’s cheese pancakes. This seemed like a good breakfast option. I mixed the farmer’s cheese with some eggs, a bit of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Then, I slowly added in some flour until I got a nice, thick batter.

- Gradually added flour to make a thick batter.
I heated up my non-stick pan and added a bit of butter. Once it was melted, I poured scoops of the batter onto the hot surface. I cooked them for a few minutes on each side until they were golden brown and looked fluffy. The smell in my kitchen was amazing!
Trying Out Farmer’s Cheese Lasagna
Next, I thought, let’s get adventurous and try farmer’s cheese lasagna. I cooked some lasagna noodles first, just your regular boil-in-water situation. Then, I mixed the farmer’s cheese with some more eggs, grated Parmesan, and a mix of herbs. I found some delicious-looking spinach at the store, so I cooked it with garlic and added it to the mix.

I layered the noodles, cheese mixture, and some tomato sauce in a baking dish. It took a few layers, but it looked pretty good going into the oven. I baked it until it was bubbly and the top was nicely browned. This one took a bit longer, but man, it was worth the wait.
Whipping Up Farmer’s Cheese Blintzes
For a sweet treat, I decided to make farmer’s cheese blintzes. I made thin crepes first—just a simple batter of flour, milk, and eggs, cooked quickly on a hot pan. Then, I mixed the farmer’s cheese with sugar, a bit of vanilla extract, and some lemon zest.

I filled each crepe with a spoonful of the sweet cheese mixture, folded them up like little packages, and then pan-fried them in butter until they were golden and crispy. Served them with a dollop of sour cream and some fresh berries. These were a hit!
All in all, it was a pretty successful day in the kitchen. I learned that farmer’s cheese is super versatile. It can be used in sweet and savory dishes. Plus, it’s kind of fun to work with. Storing the cheese was easy—just popped it in an airtight container in the fridge. If I wanted to keep it longer, I could even freeze it. I wrapped it in plastic wrap and put it in a Ziplock bag.
I ended up with a bunch of tasty dishes and a newfound appreciation for this simple, yet delicious, ingredient. Definitely going to be using farmer’s cheese more often!
