Horn-shaped pie with egg filling
Description
The recipe won't take much time. When choosing cottage cheese for making the dough, make sure it is moist enough and not crumbly. You can replace the whole grain flour specified in the recipe with rye or white flour. Also, keep in mind that the amount of flour may vary depending on the moisture of the cottage cheese. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

The dough should be soft, easily coming away from your hands, with small curd particles that will dissolve during baking. Place it in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator, divide it into 4 parts (set aside a walnut-sized piece of dough for decorating the pie), and roll each part into a circle 4-5 mm thick (19-20 cm in diameter). Cut each circle in half and place the filling in triangular shapes along both sides of each half-circle, arranging it to make 16 pastries.
