Cheese manti is a dumpling dish made with dough wrapped around a cheese filling. Recipes vary in the filling, shape, and cooking method; it is often served with yogurt or a buttery topping.
To make cheese manti, fill small pieces of rolled dough with crumbled cheese and seal the edges firmly. Cook the dumplings by boiling or baking, depending on the recipe, until the dough is tender and the filling is hot.
A crumbly cheese that is not too wet works well for cheese manti. Drained cottage cheese, farmer cheese, or feta-style cheese can be used; very moist filling can soften the dough and make the dumplings split.
Cheese manti can be boiled or baked, depending on the recipe and the product. Follow the package directions for store-bought dumplings; for homemade manti, use the cooking method specified in your dough recipe.
Garlic yogurt and melted butter seasoned with paprika or chili are classic-style toppings for cheese manti. Add the sauce just before serving so the dumplings do not sit in it and become overly soft.
Keep cheese manti closed by using a modest amount of filling and pressing the dough edges firmly together. Drain wet cheese before filling, and lower the dumplings gently into the water instead of stirring them vigorously.
Yes, cheese manti can be frozen before cooking. Arrange the dumplings in a single layer until firm, then transfer them to a sealed freezer container; cook them from frozen rather than thawing them first.
Cheese manti has a cheese filling, while meat manti is filled with seasoned minced meat. The change in filling affects the flavor and texture, but both are dough dumplings that may be served with yogurt or sauce.
Store cooked cheese manti in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it within a few days. If serving it with yogurt sauce, keep the sauce separate until mealtime to help the dumplings retain their texture.
Reheat leftover cheese manti gently in a covered pan with a small splash of water, or microwave it covered until hot throughout. Add yogurt sauce after reheating; heating the sauce with the dumplings can make it separate.

Cheese manti are small dumplings made from thin dough folded around a cheese filling. Manti are associated with Turkish and Central Asian food traditions, and cheese-filled versions offer a variation on the more familiar meat-filled dumplings.
They are usually boiled and served warm, often with garlicky yoghurt and melted butter seasoned with chilli or paprika. In Turkey they can be a substantial main dish; elsewhere, they also work well as a shareable meal with a crisp salad. The dough makes them carbohydrate-rich, while the cheese contributes fat and a moderate amount of protein: a 100 g portion has 255 calories. For a lighter serving, use less butter and add extra yoghurt or vegetables.
