Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, flour, eggs, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and form a smooth dough.

If the dough is too sticky, feel free to add a little more flour as needed. Aim for a consistency that is easy to handle.

Step 2

Prepare the Filling

Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces. Finely chop the green onions and mix them with the eggs in a bowl.

This filling will add a fresh flavor to your savory pies, making them even more enjoyable!

Step 3

Shape the Pies

Take a small portion of the dough and roll it out on a floured surface. Cut out circles or use a mold if you prefer.

Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over and press the edges together to create a sealed pie. Make sure there are no openings!

Step 4

Bake the Pies

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Arrange the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they bake to ensure they don’t overcook.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Once baked, remove the pies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. They are best enjoyed warm but are also delicious at room temperature.

Share your savory cottage cheese pies at parties or as a tasty snack during the day!

Servings

When it comes to serving these healthy pastries, the fun really begins! 🤩 Consider pairing them with a fresh salad to add a crunch and burst of flavor. You might also enjoy them with a dollop of yogurt and your favorite herbs for an extra zing! Alternatively, these pastries can shine as appetizers at your next gathering. Just imagine them in the center of a lively picnic, inviting everyone to take a bite! 🥙✨

For a sweet twist, you could try serving them alongside a fruit dip or a light drizzling of honey for a complementary flavor. Don’t forget to arrange this delightful setup on a colorful picnic blanket, turning your meal into a vibrant feast! 🌈

Variations

Looking to mix things up? You can easily adapt this recipe for various dietary preferences! 😊 For a **gluten-free** version, simply replace regular flour with a high-quality gluten-free flour blend to maintain the delightful texture. Remember to also check for hidden gluten in other ingredients! 🌾

If you have vegan friends or are just exploring plant-based options, swap the eggs for flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water equals one egg) and substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative. Your guests will love these tasty little wonders, no one will miss the dairy! 🥑🍞

Faq

  • What if my dough is too sticky?

    If your dough feels sticky, try adding a little extra flour while mixing until you achieve a workable consistency. Just remember, don't add too much all at once!

  • How long should I bake these pastries?

    Typically, these should bake for about 20-25 minutes at 180°C (350°F) until golden brown. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid burning!

  • Can I freeze these pastries?

    Absolutely! You can freeze them after baking. Just ensure they're cooled and then store in an airtight container. They can last for up to a month!

  • Is it possible to add other fillings?

    Of course! Feel free to get creative; sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or even different cheeses pair beautifully with this recipe.

  • Can I use yogurt instead of cottage cheese?

    Yogurt can be used, but it may alter the texture slightly. If you do, make sure to adjust the flour accordingly!

    Keep any leftovers stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to maintain their softness.
