Recipe Notes

PIEROGY RECIPE TIPS

  1. Use tasty and quality pierogies like Mrs. T’s Pierogies for the best result.
  2. You can make this recipe with any of your favorite Mrs. T’s Pierogies flavors - today I used Broccoli and Aged Cheddar.
  3. Drizzle the frozen pierogies with olive oil to add an extra layer of crispness to the pierogy shell when baking.
  4. Flip the pierogies halfway during baking to get a golden crust evenly on both sides.
  5. Make the broccoli pesto ahead of time. It stores in the fridge for 2-3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  6. Dollop the broccoli pesto right before serving.
  7. If you want the pesto to be saucier, add a couple tablespoons of water to thin it out and toss it with the pierogies instead of dolloping it over.
  8. Then, extra sprinkle of pine nuts, parmesan cheese and chili flakes are optional, but highly recommended!
  9. Serve the pierogy recipe right away and enjoy!
