Egg Pies

Cookinero 5 Mar 2025

Delicious, homemade, aromatic pies with eggs will fly off your table like hot cakes. What could be tastier than homemade pies? The filling is incredibly simple: boiled egg, dill and onions. Pies come in a variety of shapes: boat, Christmas tree, saechka, rasstegai, square, triangular and round pies. The shape most often depends on the skill of the cook, technique and filling. For example, in order not to confuse cabbage pies and apple pies, some are baked with the seam down, others with the seam up (the first are a boat, and the second, respectively, a Christmas tree)
