Cheese Piroshki (Piroguis au Fromage)
Origin: Paris, France
Source: Auguste Escoffier, 1907
Ingredients
- brioche dough (unsweetened)
- butter
- tvaroh (curd cheese)
Instructions
- Line well-buttered dariole molds with unsweetened brioche dough (pâte à brioche commune). Fill the interior with tvaroh (a fresh curd cheese). Cover with a round of the same dough and seal the edges by moistening the mold rims slightly.
- Allow the pastries to rest in a warm place for 25 to 30 minutes so the dough undergoes a light fermentation.
- Bake in a hot oven for 20 minutes before serving.
