Description

This pie is what childhood smells like – golden, crackling filo with warm cheese inside, steaming as you tear it apart. Grandma would always say it’s just something she "threw together," but it tasted like a secret recipe passed through generations. It’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or midnight fridge raids when nobody’s looking. One bite, and you're back in her cozy kitchen.

Advice

Want it fluffier? Add 1 tablespoon of sparkling water to the filling – it’s a grandma hack that nobody ever wrote down, but it works like magic.

Status

Flaky layers. Melty cheese. That golden, crunchy top.
🥧 This Balkan-style cheese pie is the kind of comfort that hugs you from the inside.
✨ You don’t make just one. You make two – because one disappears before it cools.
