Cheese dumplings baked in the oven
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. For making dumplings, I use a dumpling press, which is very convenient and saves time on shaping. Prepare the dough and the filling — and get started! Boil the dumplings, toss with butter, sprinkle with cheese, and bake in the oven. Good luck! The finished dish is ready to be served.
