Lazy autumn Saturday morning, how good that yesterday I cooked this wonderful pie-casserole with a filling of stewed sauerkraut and mushrooms.

And most importantly, it is very easy to prepare.

A super snack for holidays and everyday life, with a delicious filling from the gifts of the beauty of autumn! Eggplant rings, fragrant mushrooms under a layer of juicy spicy carrots and melting cream cheese… and all this is framed by a crispy golden crust… very tasty!

From the German Stapel: pile, pile … yes, in fact, I did it!
I’ve made my own changes to the pie filling. In the original recipe there is parmesan-40 g, I did not put it and 150 g of sour cream. Instead, I took 2 tablespoons of sour cream and 150 g of cottage cheese. Juicy fragrant pie on crumbly dough.
