- 4 oz. Brie Cheese, no rind and cubed
- 10 Stalks of Asparagus, trimmed
- 1 Yellow Onion, caramelized
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Garlic Olive Oil
Instructions
Dough:
- Whisk together all dough ingredients in a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.
- Set aside and rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
Filling:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Trim asparagus ends.
- Place stalks on non-stick pan and drizzle with garlic-olive oil. Roast until for tender, 8 minutes.
- Slice and caramelize onion over medium high heat in a non-stick skillet. Set aside.
- While asparagus is roasting, skin and cube russet potato. Place in medium pot of water with salt.
- Bring to a boil over high heat and then turn down to simmer. Cook until cubes are fork tender.
- Remove from heat, drain and set aside. Cut away rind of brie cheese and cube. Set aside.
- When all are finished cooking, place potatoes, asparagus and brie into a food processor along with salt, and pepper and blend until smooth.
To assemble:
- Roll out perogie dough until about 1/4″ thick. Cut out with a 3″ round biscuit cutter.
- Fill each round with approximately 1 heaping Tablespoon of potato mixture. Fold over dough and seal. Crimp edges with tines of a fork. Set aside on a non-stick baking pan. Repeat until all are filled.
- Once ready to cook, preheat a non-stick skillet with 4-5 Tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.
- Place perogies into pan and allow to brown on both sides – about 4-5 minutes each side. Set aside to drain on paper towel and eat while warm.
- If you prefer to boil them, place 3 at a time into a pot of slightly salted simmering water for about 4 minutes, or until they almost begin to float. Drain and eat while warm.
