Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces Frozen potato and cheese pierogies
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 0.5 cups Panko bread crumbs
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.
In a small saucepan, warm the heavy cream over low heat until just heated through (do not boil). Remove from heat.
Layer half of the pierogies in the prepared pie dish. Spoon half of the sautéed onion mixture evenly over the pierogies.
Sprinkle 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the onions, then drizzle with half of the warm heavy cream.
Repeat the layers with the remaining pierogies, onion mixture, another 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese, and the rest of the heavy cream.
Spread the sour cream in an even layer over the top of the pie.
In a small bowl, mix the panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil until well combined. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the sour cream layer.
Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread crumb topping is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your Crunchy Pierogies Pie!
