Shortcrust pie with cottage cheese
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can make this pie with various fillings: cottage cheese, berries, or even add some nuts. For making a shortcrust pie with cottage cheese, I use medium-fat cottage cheese and regular table apple cider vinegar (9%, though this isn't crucial). See the recipe with photos below. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
