Banica is a traditional Bulgarian dish, a version of a Mediterranean burek or Greek spinakopita. It can be made with various fillings but the most common one is cottage cheese. I made this recipe with ground beef.
1. In a heated pan saute chopped onions until soft and translucent. Add ground beef, salt and pepper to taste, and cook 15-20min. Remove un-evaporated liquid, if any. Cool.
2. Whip together eggs and yogurt. Add to the meat and onion mixture.
3. Oil a pyrex dish and follow the procedure:
5. Cook on 400F/200C till ready (20 min). Sprinkle with cheese 10minutes before removing from the oven.
