About Balkan pie

Balkan Pie, known as "burek" in many Balkan countries, is a savory pastry that pairs crispy layers of thin phyllo dough with a rich filling. Traditionally, it includes ground meat, cheese, or spinach, making it a versatile dish enjoyed across regions like Bosnia, Serbia, and Croatia. The pie is baked to golden perfection, offering a satisfying crunch and hearty flavor. While high in protein due to its meat or cheese filling, the pie is often calorie-dense because of the oil or butter used in the dough. Spinach-filled versions are lower in fat and offer essential vitamins and minerals, making them a slightly healthier option. Balkan Pie is a cultural staple, celebrated for its comforting taste, though moderation is key for those mindful of fat and calorie intake.
