Egg and meat cake with shawarma flavor
Description
I've known the recipe for this cake for a long time and periodically prepare it with various fillings. The base of this cake isn't dough, but thin Armenian lavash. You can make the filling yourself using any meat, or you can buy ready-made. The baking is done. Serve at the table.
