About Burek sa sirom

Burek sa Sirom is a traditional Balkan pastry, particularly popular in countries like Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia. It consists of thin layers of filo dough filled with a blend of cheeses, typically a mix of cottage cheese and feta, seasoned with salt. This savory dish is baked until golden, resulting in a crisp exterior and creamy interior. While its origins date back to the Ottoman era, Burek remains a staple in Balkan cuisine, often enjoyed as a snack or breakfast. From a nutritional standpoint, the pastry is high in carbohydrates due to the dough, and its cheese filling contributes protein and calcium. However, it also contains a significant amount of fat and calories, making it a rich, energy-dense food best consumed in moderation. Burek sa Sirom offers a comforting, flavorful experience but may not align with low-fat or low-calorie dietary goals.
