Baked Feta And Tomato Pierogies

You may have seen the popular social media trend known as Feta Pasta. It's a simple combination of roasted cherry tomatoes tossed in olive oil and a block of feta cheese nestled in the middle.  After roasting in the oven, this magically becomes a yummy sauce to be served over pasta.

This is where Mrs. T's Pierogies came up with the brilliant idea of replacing the pasta with pierogies.  After all, pierogies are soft pockets of dough filled with fluffy whipped potatoes and cheese.  Once sauteed in a skillet until golden brown, they become the perfect vehicle for the tomato and feta sauce.  Top with a sprinkle of fresh basil, and the results are amazing.  I hope you enjoy this dish as much as I did.  And, remember to grab a box of Mrs. T's Pierogies in the freezer section of your favorite grocery store.
