Gibanica is a traditional Balkan pastry, especially popular in Serbia, Croatia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is typically made with filo dough and filled with a savory mixture of cheese, eggs, and yogurt or sour cream, although variations can include spinach, meat, or potatoes. The filling is layered between the sheets of filo dough, and the whole pastry is baked until golden and crispy on top. The texture of gibanica is flaky on the outside, with a soft, creamy interior. It is often served as a breakfast, snack, or appetizer and is a popular dish for family gatherings and festive occasions. The dish can be made in various shapes, from large rectangular or square pans to smaller individual servings.
