Meat-Filled Banitsa is a savory pastry originating from Bulgarian cuisine, celebrated for its rich flavors and flaky texture. Traditionally made with layers of phyllo dough, the filling combines ground meat—typically pork or beef—with onions, eggs, and a blend of spices, offering a hearty and satisfying dish. Often baked until golden brown, Banitsa is a staple in Bulgarian households and frequently enjoyed as a main meal or snack. While rich in protein from the meat and eggs, its health profile is moderated by the high calorie content of the phyllo dough and the fat from the meat. Opting for leaner meats and whole-grain phyllo can improve its nutritional balance. Packed with comforting flavors and a nod to traditional Balkan cooking, Meat-Filled Banitsa captures the essence of indulgent yet versatile cuisine.
