Brynza Pierogi - Slovak dumplings with sheep cheese

Brynza pierogi are traditional Slovak dumplings made from leavened or unleavened dough, filled with sheep brynza cheese mixed with mashed potatoes. They are shaped into crescents and boiled in water.

The cooked pierogi are served drizzled with sour cream and topped with pieces of fried bacon and onion. They are a fundamental dish of Slovak cuisine, particularly popular in mountainous regions where sheep farming has a long tradition.
