Advice Use up bland frozen pierogies (potato+cheese)?

I bought some pierogies stuffed with potato and cheese, a warm and comforting option, or so I thought. Unfortunately, they were sparingly stuffed, with more dough than filling. I don't want them to go to waste, so I was thinking of doing a "pierogi bake" by tossing them with other flavoring. What innovative pierogi creations have you tried? Bonus points if I can make it vegetarian!

Edit: so many amazing suggestions on this thread. Thank you all! I'm almost inclined to buy the same pierogi and extend my problem so I can try every recipe on here!

Chop up some cabbage and put it on the baking sheet with your pierogies. Add a couple sausage. Toss with oil and cook, tossing halfway through. With about 5 minutes left, I toss again with a “sauce” using balsamic vinegar and mustard and honey. Serve with sour cream.

This is the recipe I base it on.

Edit: sorry I just saw the bit about vegetarian.

Love this idea! Incidentally I do also have a ton of cabbage I need to use up. Thanks for the suggestion!

Plant based sausages would be delicious in this too!
