I love pierogies. If you don’t know what they are, they’re European-style stuffed dumplings. They’re often stuffed with potatoes and cheese, but sometimes you can find stuffed them with mushrooms and other ingredients. We first had them in New York, and we’ve been obsessed with them ever since. I buy my pierogies frozen at one of the local grocery stores here, and they’re amazing. The potato and cheese traditional pierogies are the best, but I love the veggie flavors too. They’re yum, yum.
Traditionally, you would boil the pierogies and pan fry them afterwards. But if you’re in a pinch or very busy, like I am, you can roast frozen pierogies in the oven, and they come out wonderfully!
Today, I’m making oven roasted pierogies with caramelized onions that have been cooked with butter and flavored with balsamic. They are so yummy!
If you’re short on time, you can also just eat pierogies with melted butter and sour cream, or just by themselves. But I love caramelized onions, so this recipe is a must-have in our house. Enjoy!
