Ingredients
- Rice paper 2 sheets
- Eggs 1-2 pcs
- Water ½ tsp
- Cottage cheese 150 g
- Mozzarella cheese (shredded) 40 g
- Sun-dried tomatoes 10-20 g
- Salt / Pepper to taste
- Chopped greens / Sesame seeds to serve
Instructions
- In a small bowl, beat the egg with water, salt, and pepper until smooth
- Pour the egg mixture into a large, flat dish and place both sheets in it. Flatten them so that they become soaked in the mixture, ensuring they are completely wet, soft, and pliable
- Once the rice paper has softened (about 1-3 minutes), cover the tray with a silicone mat and place both sheets in the center
- Next, in the center of the sheets, layer the filling alternately: cottage cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, salt and pepper, shredded cheese, and greens
- Carefully fold the sides of the rice paper, ideally shaping it like a boat (though a round shape, similar to puff pastry, is also an option). If desired, sprinkle the edges with sesame seeds and place them in the oven
- Bake in the oven at 360°F (185°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until a crust forms and the cheese is completely melted
- Let it cool for a few minutes, then use a spatula to transfer the finished boat to a serving dish and enjoy!
Notes
-
These boats taste best when still warm and can be enjoyed as a breakfast or a side dish to soup or salad.
-
Rice paper can be soaked and softened with just warm water, but using an egg mixture makes the dish more nutritious and richer in flavor.
-
The filling can be adjusted to your taste preferences (swap grainy cheese for cottage cheese, sun-dried tomatoes for fresh, etc.).
-
If you're cooking for the whole family, adjust the quantities of ingredients accordingly.
-
Cooking on a silicone mat is recommended, as the bottom of the 'boat' may not always come off easily from parchment.
-
To make it easier to transfer the dish, allow it to cool down first.
