Cheese and cherry strudel
Description
Homemade pastry for tea. Classic strudel is made with stretched dough, but we'll take a quick and easy route: using ready-made puff pastry. Our strudel will turn out just as good, and considering we'll spend minimal effort and time—it's even better, isn't it? The recipe for cottage cheese and cherry strudel is very simple—see for yourself. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
