Bougatsa is a traditional Greek pastry known for its rich and flaky texture. It typically consists of layers of buttery phyllo dough filled with a creamy semolina custard or, in savory variations, minced meat or cheese. Originating in northern Greece, Bougatsa is a popular breakfast or dessert item, often dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon for added sweetness. While its thin phyllo dough offers a lighter base, Bougatsa is generally high in calories and fat due to the butter and sugary custard filling. However, the semolina in the custard provides a modest amount of fiber and micronutrients like B-vitamins. Bougatsa is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet and pairs beautifully with a cup of Greek coffee for a quintessential taste of Mediterranean cuisine.
