Banitsa (Bulgarian Cheese Pie)
(banica and banitza) is a traditional Bulgarian pastry. Traditionally, some lucky
charms are put into the pastry on some of the national holidays or other occasions
including; Christmas Eve, the first day of Christmas, New Year’s Eve, etc.
package phyllo (filo) dough (1 lb)
3 eggs
1 lb Bulgarian(sirene) cheese/ feta cheese
5-6 Tbsp butter
1 cup of milk or yogurt
Beat
the eggs in a bowl and combine the crumbled cheese, yogurt/milk and eggs
together. Cheese should be lumpy so don’t over mix. Melt the butter in a cup.
Butter the bottom of a Pyrex or oven tray. Lay one sheet of filo dough and
spread some melted butter with a brush all over. Then continue layering and
spreading butter until 5-6 sheets one after another. Spread some of the cheese
mixture on top, and distribute evenly. Then repeat layering and spreading
butter in between for another 3-4 sheets. Pour some cheese mixture and repeat layering
until all mixture is used. Lay the last 3-4 sheets on the top with no butter in
between. Spread the rest of the butter on top. Cut in portion sized pie slices
or squares and bake in the preheated 400 F (200 C) oven until golden (for about
30 minutes).
ENJOY
Banitsa
is served for breakfast, brunch or any time with plain yogurt, ayran or boza. I
would recommend Turkish tea with Banitsa. Served hot or cold, it is always
tasty.
