Quite a simple cheese pie with kefir with a large set of ingredients, but don't let that frighten you. Cheese pie from the category of those in which you can put all the leftovers from the refrigerator and clean the jars of cereals in the kitchen cupboard. Collect pieces of cheese of different varieties, the remnants of vegetables - carrots, celery, sweet peppers. Sour milk, if milk is sour, is also useful, you can add it to the dough instead of kefir, and add wheat oatmeal, semolina or corn flour to wheat flour, because so often there are only 1-2 spoons in the kitchen cabinets anything from cereals. To make the pie with cheese a success, be sure to use a detachable form and oiled parchment, since melted cheese always strives to stick to the form.
