This recipe revives childhood memories, bringing together traditional flavors and natural aromas in a comforting dish that is enjoyed with pleasure. Let's discover together how to prepare this delicacy! Ingredients for the filling: - 500 ml milk - 100 g semolina - 300 g cottage cheese (ideally use fresh, quality cheese) - 2 eggs - 100 g sugar (or to taste) - 1 packet of vanilla (or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract) - A pinch of salt Ingredients for the dough: - 200 g flour - 100 g butter (or margarine, at room temperature) - 50 g sugar - 1 egg - A pinch of salt - Cold water, as needed Step 1: Preparing the filling In a pot, bring the milk to a boil. When it reaches boiling point, add the semolina in a rain, stirring continuously with a whisk or wooden spoon. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and becomes homogeneous, similar to polenta. Once you achieve the desired consistency, remove from heat and let cool slightly. Step 2: Combining the filling ingredients In a large bowl, add the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Using a fork or mixer, mix well until all ingredients are homogeneous. Then, add the cooled semolina mixture and mix again until you obtain a uniform filling. Step 3: Preparing the dough In another bowl, combine the flour with the salt and sugar. In the center of the mixture, add the diced butter and the egg. Knead gently, adding cold water gradually, until you obtain an elastic and non-sticky dough. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes. Step 4: Assembling the pie Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface until you get a thin sheet. Place part of the dough in a baking dish lined with parchment paper, making sure to cover the edges as well. Pour the cheese filling and smooth it out. Cover with the remaining dough, sealing the edges well to prevent leaks. Step 5: Baking Put the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until golden. Finally, let the pie cool slightly before cutting it into servings. Serving suggestions: This peasant cheese pie can be served warm or at room temperature, sprinkled with powdered sugar or accompanied by a berry sauce. Also, for a more sophisticated version, you can add some coconut flakes to the filling or even a bit of dill for a savory taste. Possible variations: For a less sweet pie, try replacing the sugar with a natural sweetener or adding herbs like basil or oregano to the filling. This peasant cheese pie recipe is not only easy to prepare but also extremely versatile, being able to be adapted to everyone's preferences. Enjoy each slice with your loved ones!
