The deliciously layered and crispy base goes perfectly with the most delicate curd filling. And it will take you no more than 10 minutes to form such puffs.
Ingredients:
- puff pastry (yeast-free) – 500 g (1 package),
- cottage cheese – 360 g (2 packs),
- sour cream 10% – 3 tbsp. l.,
- egg – 2 pcs.,
- raisins – 100-130 g,
- sugar – 3-4 tbsp. l.,
- vanillin (optional) – 0.5 packs,
- poppy seed (or other topping) – 1-2 tbsp. l.
How to make puff pastry with cottage cheese from ready-made puff pastry
First, let's defrost the finished puff pastry: take it out of the freezer, remove the packaging, separate the layers of dough from each other and, sprinkle the work surface with flour, lay them out on it. Lightly sprinkle flour on top of the layers and cover cling film or an ordinary plastic bag so that the dough does not dry out. If you put the dough in a warm place, after 20-30 minutes it will be ready for further work.
In the meantime, you can prepare the filling. To do this, put the cottage cheese in a bowl and knead it a little, breaking up the largest lumps of cottage cheese. If you have coarse-grained cottage cheese, it is better to beat it with a blender before adding the raisins - then the filling will be easier and more evenly placed on the dough.
Next, add 1 egg to the dough, leaving the second one to grease the puff pastry before baking.
Followed by vanilla, sugar and sour cream. You can use sour cream of any fat content, the main thing is to give the filling the desired consistency.
Stir the mixture thoroughly. It is of medium thickness - it does not spread even when folding the dough, but at the same time it is easily spread over the dough. By the way, ready-made (store-bought) sweet curd mass is quite suitable as a filling.
I chose the simplest method of forming puff pastries - rolls. Roll out the dough layer thinner, dusting it further (if necessary) a small amount flour.
Then apply the filling to the dough in an even layer, leaving the edges of the layer intact around the entire perimeter; 0.5-0.7 mm will be quite enough.
Roll the layer with the filling into a roll. The dough does not need to be rolled tightly, it takes the shape of a roll quite easily, the filling does not spread at all and does not crawl out of the layer.
Turn the roll seam side down and cut it into small rolls. After each cut, wipe the knife with a damp sponge (cloth), freeing it from the filling stuck to it - this way you will get puff pastries with a perfectly even cut.
Place the formed puff pastries on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Brush them with beaten egg and sprinkle with poppy seeds (sesame seeds, sugar, cinnamon - everything according to your desire and taste).
Bake the puff pastries in a preheated oven at 180 degrees until cooked. It takes me about 20 minutes to bake.
Take out the finished baked goods, cool a little and enjoy trying them!

How to make puff pastries with cottage cheese
Thaw the finished puff pastry at room temperature. Usually, four sheets of dough are sold in a pack. They need to be spread out on a flat surface until they acquire a soft structure.
When the dough is ready, you can make the filling. To do this, mix cottage cheese, sugar, and condensed milk in a convenient container. Mix. Add a couple of drops vanilla essence. The filling and dough are ready.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface. One sheet of dough should form a square, about two millimeters thick. Cut it into four parts.
Place 1-2 teaspoons of filling on each square. No more keeping the curd from seeping through the dough and sticking to the baking sheet. Then it will be very difficult to separate the puff pastry from such a surface.
Fold the puff pastry squares in half to create filled triangles. How I do this and what happens in the end can be seen in the photo.
Each pie should be pinched well, folding the edges towards the top. This way the filling will not seep through the dough.
Place the puff triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment, foil or baking film. The surface must be lubricated vegetable oil so that the puff pastries move well away from the surface.

Recipe for making puff pastry with cottage cheese:
You can make puff pastry yourself. But we bought ready-made frozen puff pastry without yeast in the store. It's already cut into squares, so all we have to do is defrost it and roll it out. Please note that puff pastry defrosts very quickly, in about 15 minutes. As soon as it becomes soft, start working immediately, as this dough does not like to be kept warm for a long time.
Lightly flour the table and place a square of prepared puff pastry. Sprinkle the rolling pin with flour too. Roll out the dough. The square should increase by half, the dough will be thin. Don't worry, it will rise and spread well in the oven. Now use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 4 parts as shown in the picture. The dough is thin, elastic, and cuts very easily.
It's time to prepare the filling. Rinse the raisins, soak in water for a while, then dry on a napkin and combine with curd mass. Mix well - the filling is ready.
Place the filling in the center of each of the four squares. Now you need to brush the edges of the squares (future puff pastries) with egg white. To do this, you need to carefully separate the white and yolk. Tap the center of the egg with a knife, break the shell into two halves and roll the yolk from one shell to the other. Meanwhile, all the protein will pour into the cup. There is no need to beat the whites. Just take a regular pastry brush and brush the egg white onto the edges of the squares.
Now form triangular dough puffs by covering one half of the square with the other half. Lightly press down the top half of the dough, pressing down the filling and expelling excess air. Pinch the edges well with your fingers.
If you don't have time or don't know how to work with yeast dough, then this option is an excellent lifesaver for beginners or busy housewives. Bake puff pastries with cottage cheese in the oven you can quickly, not at all difficult, and at the end we will get almost croissants))) with fragrant vanilla cottage cheese.
To prepare puff pastry pies with cottage cheese in the oven, we will need all the products on the list. I took one fairly large egg, and it was enough for me to add it to the cottage cheese and grease the surface of the pies. If table eggs, then take 2 pieces.
You need to beat the egg in a container with a fork, then pour some of it into the cottage cheese and leave a little to grease the pies.
Combine cottage cheese, sugar, a pinch of salt, vanillin and part of the beaten egg. Mix everything well. Add sugar to taste, but you need to keep in mind that puff pastry does not contain sugar, so the cottage cheese needs to be sweetened a little more than you would normally do. Of course, the best and more delicate taste has market cottage cheese, it is without sourness.
Yeast puff pastry needs to be thawed at room temperature. Then release from packaging.
And roll out into a fairly thin layer. The number of pies will depend on how thick the dough you roll out.
Cut the dough into even squares.
Place the curd filling diagonally in the center of each dough square. Make side cuts on both sides of the square.
Form a sort of cheesecake by threading the ends of the dough into the resulting slits. Hide the hanging ends of the dough under the bottom.
Place the pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment or greased with oil. Give the pies a little time to proof in a warm place - about 15 minutes. From this amount of ingredients I got 13 full-fledged pies and one more - the fourteenth - symbolic.
Then brush the pies with the remaining egg. Bake puff pastry pies with cottage cheese in an oven preheated to 180 degrees until golden brown. Adjust the baking time according to your oven.
Allow the pies to cool slightly and can be served immediately with tea or coffee. Children can serve it with milk.
The baked goods are very aromatic, crispy and at the same time soft. Enjoy!
