The flavors of butter, scallions, and feta cheese come together to create a wonderfully savory and sophisticated new twist on the favorite cheese latke. The fresh, clean taste of sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt for a lower-fat version) is the perfect accompaniment for this salty latke.

Prepare Latkes
-
Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the scallions.
-
Sauté until just browning and soft.
-
Set aside to cool.
-
Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the eggs, farmer cheese, feta cheese, and flour.
-
Use an immersion blender to create a smooth batter.
-
Add the cheese to the scallions and mix together.
-
Heat a very thin layer of oil in a large frying pan and drop a heaping tablespoon of cheese batter to form round discs.
-
Try to flatten out slightly with the back of the spoon.
-
Let fry until the underside is golden brown.
-
Flip, and leave until the bottom edges have browned.
-
Move to a tray lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
-
Serve with sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.
Note:
Serve with sour cream or plain Greek yogurt. Best served the same day it’s made, either fresh from the pan or warmed in a preheated oven for about 10 minutes.
