"There are a few ways to cook frozen pierogi, but the most traditional (and fastest) way is by boiling them, which gives them a lovely, soft, doughy texture. Some of us, however, prefer them on the crispier side, and that's where breadcrumbs come in. While you could pan-fry your pierogi on their own with a little bit of butter, breadcrumbs bring a contrasting texture that can't be beat."
"If all you've got are plain, potato, and cheese frozen pierogi, perhaps you'd prefer to add breadcrumbs with a little additional flavor. Luckily, there are myriad ways to add more flavor to plain breadcrumbs, which will, in turn, add more flavor to your pierogi. One of the simplest methods, which doesn't require much besides a spoon and a bowl for mixing, is to add dried herbs or spices to your breadcrumbs."
Frozen pierogi are versatile, comforting dumplings often filled with potato and cheese, with modern frozen varieties ranging from loaded baked potato to butternut squash with apple and sage. Boiling remains the traditional, fastest cooking method, producing a soft, doughy texture. For a crisp exterior, boil first, then pan-fry pierogi in butter or oil and coat them with breadcrumbs until golden and crispy. Breadcrumbs provide a contrasting texture and can be flavored by mixing in dried herbs, spices, or pre-made blends. Serve pierogi hot immediately after frying for the best texture and flavor.
