Cooktop Cove: 7+ pierogi recipes that are so full of goodness they should not be overlooked
By Holly Antoine
If you've never had a pierogi, you've got to try them. These Polish dumplings are made by filling unleavened dough with sweet or savory ingredients. They can be stuffed with anything from mashed potatoes to ground beef and sauerkraut. My favorite version is stuffed with farmers cheese, making them taste similar to a doughy ravioli.
Check out these recipes below, and then get cooking!

Blueberry pierogiClassic pierogi are filled with potatoes or cheese, but these pierogi, filled with blueberries, are perfect for dessert. The video below works well with frozen blueberries, so you can make them any time of the year. If you use fresh blueberries, you may have to cook the filling longer to get rid of any excess moisture and ensure the filling doesn't spill out of them. Get the recipe
