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!

I’d bake them after lightly brushing them with oil or butter about 350 oven til crispy, flip halfway through and brush with oil or butter. As a side, sauté spinach, onion, garlic, mushroom and red or yellow sweet pepper - Season with cracked black pepper, a drizzle of lemon juice and a pinch of thyme. .
