Bulgarian-style banitsa made with lavash
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. This recipe won me over with its simplicity, versatility, and, most importantly, the result—a delicious and satisfying dish. You can prepare it with fillings of cottage cheese, meat, or vegetables. Thanks to thin Armenian lavash, the preparation takes no more than 1 hour. Serve warm or chilled. Ideal with tea.
