Royal cottage cheese pie
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. In this case, I suggest enhancing the classic version with fruits to make the pie even juicier and tastier. You can use either fresh berries or fruits, or canned ones, for example. It's best to serve the pie once it has cooled completely—this allows it to set and become even more appetizing and tender. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
