Crispy Adyghe Cheese and Tomato Pie

Cheese with herbs and tomatoes on a crispy crust — very tasty. Adyghe cheese is very popular in our family, and even more so, the industry has begun to produce it with various additives. But even if you suddenly have a piece lying around, don’t rush to throw it away, my advice is to fry it, you won’t regret it. And the pie with Adyghe cheese is a separate story. This is not a pie with cottage cheese or cheese. The filling is tender, a little curd and at the same time cheesy. Of course, the cheese is a little bland, so it’s worth salting it, and sometimes you can add red pepper, it will be spicier. Be sure to add herbs and tomatoes; Adyghe cheese loves them. For spinach lovers, you can make a pie with cheese and spinach, but you need to stew the spinach in butter. In general, you can experiment with Adyghe cheese for a long time and endlessly. And, of course, about the test. Puff pastry is better for this pie, but you can use yeast. Of course it won’t be as crispy, but yeast dough has its advantages.
