Description

Brined Cheese Pierogy (Varenyky) are savory Ukrainian dumplings with a delicate dough and a rich, aromatic cheese filling. The dough is made from premium wheat flour, drinking water, chicken eggs and refined sunflower oil, so it stays tender and elastic after cooking.

Inside, there is a flavorful blend of sour-milk cheese with fresh dill and parsley, lightly seasoned with salt. The result is a juicy, mildly salty cheese filling with a bright herbal note – a perfect option for those who prefer savory varenyky.

Serve these pierogy as a main course or hearty side dish: simply boil the frozen varenyky in salted water for 5–7 minutes, then drain and dress with butter, sour cream, fried onion or fresh herbs. They go well with salads, light soups or can be enjoyed on their own.

Cooking method: frozen varenyky are put into boiling salted water. They are brought to a boil while stirring and cooked for 5–7 minutes. Cooked varenyky are taken out from the water and dressed to taste (with butter or sour cream).
