FAQS

  1. How can I make savory syrniki without using egg?

    If you're looking to make a vegan version of savory syrniki, you can substitute the egg with a flaxseed meal or chia seed mixture. Mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal or chia seeds with 2.5 tablespoons of water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens. This will help bind the ingredients together just like an egg would.

  2. What are some good substitutions for sun-dried tomatoes in savory syrniki?

    If you don't have sun-dried tomatoes on hand, you can use roasted red peppers or even finely chopped olives for a similar savory flavor. Both options will add a delicious twist to your syrniki while maintaining the overall texture.

  3. How should I store leftover savory syrniki?

    To store leftover savory syrniki, let them cool completely, then place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pan-fry them for a few minutes until heated through, or warm them in the oven at a low temperature.

  4. What can I serve with savory syrniki for a complete breakfast?

    Savory syrniki pair wonderfully with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. You can also serve them alongside a fresh salad or some sautéed greens for a balanced breakfast. For a heartier meal, consider adding poached eggs on top.

  5. Can I use gluten-free flour for making savory syrniki?

    Yes, you can definitely use gluten-free flour to make savory syrniki. Rice flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend works well as a substitute for regular wheat flour. Just be sure to check the consistency of the batter, as gluten-free flours can vary in absorbency.
