Lavash pie with cottage cheese

8 servings

40 minutes

Lavash pie with cottage cheese is a delicate and aromatic dish of Russian cuisine that combines simplicity of preparation with refined taste. The base of thin Armenian lavash is soaked with a mixture of cottage cheese, eggs, and sour cream, creating an airy structure, while the addition of lemon zest or raisins gives the pie a special touch. The dish originated from housewives' desire to use available ingredients and quickly create an appetizing dessert or hearty breakfast. When cut, the pie looks like a multi-layered roll soaked in creamy filling, and baking at high temperature gives it a crispy golden crust. It can be served warm or chilled, complemented with jam, sour cream or honey. This pie is perfect for family tea gatherings, cozy evenings and simply for those who appreciate comforting homemade baked goods.
