You can add any spices that are used for cottage cheese or vegetable dishes to the filling: paprika, allspice, coriander and many others;
Sometimes a set of greens is supplemented with cilantro and green onions.
A variety of dry or fresh aromatic herbs are suitable as spices for such a simple puff pastry pie with Adyghe cheese. In the summer I cooked it with fresh chopped cilantro, it turned out very tasty, but cilantro is probably not for everyone.
Now the purchased mixture of “Provencal herbs” and fresh sweet bell pepper came in handy, which almost all year round growing on my windowsill. In my opinion, this is a very good combination.

The dough needs to be defrosted at room temperature. Sometimes they recommend (on the packaging) modes for microwaves, but I have never liked this method of defrosting...
Adyghe cheese needs to be crumbled or coarsely grated.
Add dry (or fresh) aromatic herbs to the cheese and a little bell pepper, cut into small pieces. Salt - optional and to taste.
Place a sheet of puff pastry on a baking surface (greased baking sheet or baking paper). Measure out about 1/3 of the dough and roll this part in one direction so that there is enough of this piece to cover the filling.
Place the cheese filling on the unrolled part of the dough.
Level the filling. Cut the rolled out part of the dough into 5-6 strips.
Twist the dough strips into loose ropes and cover the filling with them. Pinch the edges of the dough to prevent the filling from falling out.
Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for about 20 minutes.
