Pierogi

Eastern Europe · food · dumplings · comfort food

Pillows of dough. Pierogi are made by wrapping unleavened dough around tasty fillings and then boiling them in water until they float to the surface, kind of like little edible balloons.

Many flavor options. The fillings can be savory like potato and cheese, sauerkraut, mushrooms, or ground meat, or they can be sweet like fruits and berries for dessert versions.

Crispy toppings. Savory pierogi are often topped with sour cream and fried onions, which add a tangy and crunchy taste that makes them extra special.

From Eastern Europe. Pierogi are a traditional dish especially popular in Poland, Ukraine, and other Eastern European countries where families have made them for generations.
