Vegetable pie "Autumn sun"

90 minutes
Vegetable pie 'Autumn Sun' is a true culinary masterpiece inspired by the colors of golden autumn. Its history traces back to Russian cuisine, where simple yet hearty and healthy dishes have always held a special place. Thin strips of zucchini, courgette, and carrot create an incredible visual effect reminiscent of sun rays, while the delicate butter dough adds fragility and airiness to the pie. The filling of eggs, milk, and cheese gives it creamy richness with a slightly spicy flavor thanks to garlic. This pie is perfect for cozy family evenings, autumn tea gatherings, or even festive tables. It can be enjoyed as a standalone dish or paired with a light salad. Each serving is a piece of sunshine on the plate that brings warmth and comfort.
