Welcome to the wonderful world of pies! Today, we embark on a culinary journey to prepare a noble cheese pie, a dessert that evokes childhood memories and brings joy with every slice. This recipe is inspired by Rux, to whom we thank for the brilliant idea of combining pastry sheets with a delicious cheese filling. Let's get started!

Necessary Ingredients

- 7 sheets of pastry
- 500 g cottage cheese (choose a fresh, creamy cheese for better taste)
- 3 tablespoons of sour cream (the sour cream adds a velvety texture)
- 125 g sugar (you can adjust the amount according to your preferences)
- 3 eggs (the eggs help bind the mixture)
- 1 tablespoon of flour (to thicken the filling)
- 1 natural yogurt of 125 g (adds extra creaminess)
- Grated zest of one orange (for a hint of citrus flavor)
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar (or vanilla essence, for a refined taste)
- Powdered vanilla sugar (for decoration)
- Butter (for greasing the tray and pastry sheets)
- A Jena dish of 30/20 cm

Preparing the Filling

1. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, add the cottage cheese, sour cream, sugar, eggs, flour, orange zest, and vanilla sugar. Use a fork or a whisk to mix well until you obtain a homogeneous composition. Make sure the cheese is lump-free for a smooth texture.

2. Adding the pastry sheets: Tear the 7 sheets of pastry into smaller pieces (approximately the size of a palm) and incorporate them into the cheese mixture. This step is essential as the pastry sheets will absorb the flavors and give the pie a rustic appearance.

Assembling the Pie

3. Preparing the tray: Grease the Jena dish with melted butter, ensuring it is evenly covered. This will help the pie not to stick and to brown beautifully.

4. Base layer: Place two sheets of pastry in the dish, greased with butter on the edges, allowing them to slightly exceed the edge of the dish. This detail will create a delicious and crispy crust.

5. Adding the filling: Pour the cheese mixture into the prepared dish, ensuring it is distributed evenly. Bring the edges of the pastry sheets towards the center to create a nice edge.

6. Top layer: Cover the pie with a final sheet of pastry, greased with a little melted butter, to achieve a golden and appetizing crust.

Baking

7. Preheating the oven: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. It is important to have the oven well-heated before placing the pie inside to ensure even baking.

8. Actual baking: Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, until it becomes golden and well-set. After 30 minutes, open the oven and add the yogurt on top, spreading it evenly. This will add extra moisture and flavor.

Finalizing

9. Cooling and portioning: Once the pie is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Then, cut it into squares or triangles, according to your preferences.

10. Serving: This pie can be enjoyed both warm and cold. A delicious idea is to dust it with powdered vanilla sugar before serving for an elegant look and an inviting aroma.

Chef's Tip

To give a touch of personality to the recipe, try adding some raisins or ground nuts to the cheese mixture. This will bring a crunchy note and a rich flavor.
