Pierogi II are a traditional Polish dish, beloved for their comforting and filling nature. They are similar to dumplings or ravioli, but with a unique filling of cottage cheese. Traditionally, pierogi are served boiled or fried and topped with melted butter or sour cream. They are often enjoyed as a main course, but can also make a great appetizer or side dish for a larger meal.

Instructions

1.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, flour, and salt to form a dough.
2.	Knead the dough until smooth, then cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
3.	In another bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, eggs, and salt until well combined.
4.	Roll out the dough onto a floured surface and cut into circles using a cookie cutter or a glass.
5.	Place a spoonful of the cottage cheese mixture onto each circle.
6.	Fold the circles in half and seal the edges by pressing them together.
7.	Drop the pierogi into a pot of boiling salted water and cook until they float to the surface, about 3-5 minutes.
8.	Serve hot with melted butter or sour cream.
