Fish pie with kefir
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. Fish-filled pies are not as popular as those with jam, fruits, or cabbage. And that's a pity, because they are also very delicious. The thing is, modern home cooks don't always have time to deal with fresh fish. That's why, to speed up and simplify the process, today we'll be baking a pie with canned fish. You can use your favorite canned fish—this way, the pie will taste even better. From this recipe, you'll learn how to quickly and deliciously prepare a kefir-based fish pie. I hope everything turns out great! Serve with tea or coffee.
