Be assured that this Zelnik is the most delicious in Bulgaria!

My grandmother cook is fantastic and cave, it makes this delicatessen and replacing cabbage stuffed with eggs, cheese and yogurt. Mmm, to lick your fingers! And preparation is required excellent skills in precise.

I am also of the cave, but I live in Sofia and this really is the best pie. Makes it very often and all very like it. Except fillings of cabbage and eggs, yogurt and cheese has more options that are worth to try. And that is: to stuffing of yogurt and eggs can be added stewed spinach, rhubarb, sorrel or leeks. Becomes incredible. A more beautiful with mince - for a pie 350-400 g mince mixture, 2-3 stalks washed, chopped and stewed leeks. When cool put 3-4 eggs, salt, pepper and cumin and mix everything. This stuffing is quite *heavy* for the summer months, but so does winter goes very well with red wine. Far as I know nowhere else do so.
