Banitsa is a traditional Bulgarian pastry, beloved for its flaky layers and savory filling. Made from thin sheets of dough, known as yufka, it is typically stuffed with a delightful mixture of feta cheese, eggs, and yogurt. Originating from the Balkan region, Banitsa is often enjoyed as a breakfast dish or a snack. While it offers a deliciously rich flavor, it can be high in calories and fats due to its buttery layers. However, when made with yogurt and fresh ingredients, Banitsa can provide a satisfying protein boost. Dive into this cultural delicacy and savor the taste of Bulgaria!
