Step 3
Prepare the remaining ingredients. You can use yeast-free or yeast puff pastry (store-bought or homemade). Defrost in the fridge. Use firm cottage cheese (like block-style).
Step 4
Rinse and pat dry the raisins. Any kind—dark or golden, large or small—will work.
Step 5
Beat the egg with a fork until smooth. Divide into two unequal parts.

Step 6
If needed, press the cottage cheese through a sieve. In a bowl, mix it with the larger part of the beaten egg, sugar, and vanilla. Mash with a fork until smooth.
Step 7
Add raisins and mix again. You can skip them or replace with other dried fruit.
Step 8
Roll each sheet of pastry into a rectangle. If using a rolled pastry, cut it in half. Make several diagonal slits along the long edges.

Step 9

Place the pastries on a parchment-lined baking tray, leaving space between them. Brush with the remaining egg.

Sprinkle with streusel. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20–30 minutes until golden. For extra browning, turn on broil for a few minutes at the end.
