Step 1
How to bake puff pastry with cottage cheese from puff pastry? Prepare the products according to the list. It is advisable to take puff pastry in square sheets — you do not have to roll it out too much to get the desired shape and size. Thaw the dough in advance. Take cottage cheese that is not wet or dry, any fat content. Wash and dry the raw egg. Wipe it with a paper napkin.
