Banitsa is a traditional Bulgarian pastry made from layers of thin dough, typically called yufka, filled with a mixture of feta cheese, eggs, and sometimes yogurt. It is often seasoned with herbs like dill or parsley and can be enjoyed as a savory dish or a snack. This dish is commonly served during festive occasions, especially during Christmas and New Year celebrations. Banitsa can be baked in a round or rectangular shape and is usually enjoyed warm, often accompanied by yogurt or a glass of ayran, a refreshing yogurt drink.
