Instructions
- 1
Soak the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain them in a strainer.
10 min10:00 - 2
Drain the tvorog in cheesecloth for 10 minutes and mash it with a fork. In a large bowl, mix it with the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
10 min10:00 - 3
Add the semolina to the tvorog mixture and whisk for 1 minute with the raisins, then cover and rest for 10 minutes so the semolina absorbs moisture.
10 min10:00 - 4
Grease the mold with butter, pour in the mixture, and smooth the top with a spatula.
- 5
Bake in an oven heated to 180°C for 35 minutes, until the top is lightly browned and the center is set.
35 min35:00 - 6
Let the zapekanka rest for 10 minutes after it comes out of the oven, then slice.
10 min10:00 - 7
Transfer to a plate, top with sour cream, dust with powdered sugar, and serve warm.
💡 Tip: If using strained yogurt or lor instead of tvorog, drain it through cheesecloth for 10 minutes, because excess moisture weakens the zapekanka. Vanilla is a classic Russian zapekanka signature and should not be omitted.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice the warm zapekanka onto a plate, top with sour cream (smetana), dust with powdered sugar, and serve with jam or honey.
