Pie with cheese and dill

Cookinero 10 Nov 2022

Cooking a pie with cheese and dill will not raise questions even for a novice hostess, if only because it is based on “store” dough. That is, with regard to this component, you definitely do not have to worry! There will be no problems with the filling either: chop the cheese and herbs, then mix. Well, then you just need to combine it with the dough and send it to the oven. And here the most difficult thing begins: to convince loved ones not only to wait for the cake to be ready, but also to let it cool down a bit. The fact is that during the baking process, it exudes such an appetizing aroma that the household will constantly clarify when it will be possible to start tasting.
