Banitsa is a traditional Bulgarian pastry made from layers of filo dough filled with a mixture of feta cheese, eggs, and sometimes yogurt or milk. The dough is typically rolled or layered with the filling, then baked until golden and crispy. The result is a savory, rich pastry with a flaky, crunchy exterior and a creamy, cheesy interior. Banitsa is often flavored with a touch of black pepper or herbs, and can be served as a breakfast, snack, or part of a meal. It is particularly popular in Bulgaria and surrounding countries in the Balkans, often enjoyed during holidays and special occasions, and is typically paired with a glass of yogurt.
