Equipment

Ingredients

Filling:

  • 1 lb Frozen Cauliflower Thawed
  • 8-12 oz Shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Dough:

  • 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 ounces Cream cheese
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 2 ¼ cups Almond flour
  • ¼ cup Coconut flour
  • ¼ cup Almond milk
  • ½ teaspoon Salt

For Serving:

  • Bacon
  • Onions
  • Sauerkraut

Instructions

Filling:

  • Place thawed cauliflower in a microwave safe dish. Heat on high for 7 minutes, or until easily mashed.
  • Transfer to a food processor along with the shredded cheese, blitz until cheese is melted and you have a smooth, uniform filling.
  • Transfer to a bowl, allow to cool.

Dough:

  • Measure mozzarella and cream cheese into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat - 45-60 seconds at a time - until cheese has melted.
  • Measure remaining dough ingredients into a food processor, blitz to combine. Add melted cheeses, pulse until well combined - you don’t want to see any sections of unmixed cream cheese, etc.

Assembly:

  • Roll cheese mixture into 24 balls. Set aside.
  • With wet hands, pinch off walnut-sized sections of dough - 24 of them.
  • One at a time, flatten a piece of dough into a circle approximately 3" across – I like to do this in the palm of my non-dominant hand. Place a 1 cheese ball of filling in the center of the circle.
  • Use your other hand to fold the dough around the filling, sealing the edge from one side to the other.
  • Make sure your perogies are sealed well. Also, I like to flatten them out a little.
  • In batches, pan fry the perogies in a bit of butter - about 3-4 minutes per side - until golden brown. I like to fry both sides with the fold up against the side of the pan as much as possible, then fry it standing up on the fold, for a nice, all-over browning.
  • Serve with bacon, onions, and/or sauerkraut, and sour cream!
