To prepare a delicious pie with cheese and cherry filling, we start by preparing the fillings that will give this dish a special taste. In a large bowl, we add the cheese, which can be cow's cheese or a type of ricotta, and mix it with three tablespoons of semolina. The semolina will help to firm up the filling so that it doesn't leak during baking. Then, we add the four eggs, sugar to taste - to add sweetness, and vanilla sugar, which will enrich the aroma of the mixture. A pinch of salt will balance all the flavors and enhance the taste of the cheese. We mix all the ingredients well until we obtain a homogeneous composition.
In another bowl, we take care of the cherry filling. The pitted cherries are added to breadcrumbs, which will absorb the juice released by the fruit. This mixture is completed with sugar and vanilla sugar to enhance the cherry aroma. We mix gently so that the breadcrumbs integrate well with the cherries, but without crushing them.
Once the fillings are ready, we move on to assembling the pie. We take a sheet of pastry and lightly grease it with a little oil to make it more flexible. On this sheet, we place the cheese filling, forming a roll. We do the same with the cherry filling, creating another roll. Then, we take the two rolls and wrap them together in another sheet of pastry, resulting in a larger roll that will be full of delicious flavors.
After completing this step, we place the roll in the lined baking tray, and then we put the tray in the preheated oven at a medium temperature. We bake the pie for about 15 minutes until it becomes golden and crispy. After this interval, we take the tray out of the oven and prepare a mixture of three tablespoons of sour cream, two tablespoons of sugar, and one egg. This mixture is poured evenly over the pie, giving it a soft and savory crust.
We return the tray to the oven and bake at a moderate heat until the sour cream mixture sets and becomes slightly browned. When ready, we let the pie cool a bit, then serve it sprinkled with powdered sugar on top for an attractive appearance and a sweet-tart taste, perfect for a dessert or a snack. This cheese and cherry pie will surely be a delight appreciated by all who taste it!
