Zubereitung von Banitsa With White Cheese Bulgarian Banitsa With Phyllo Pastry

**Cheese Filling Preparation:** In a bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Add 1 lb (450g) crumbled white cheese (such as sirene or feta) and 1 cup (240ml) plain yogurt. Mix well to combine.
**Spiral Banitsa:**
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 16-inch (40cm) round baking pan with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
Lay down one sheet of phyllo pastry. Brush with 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Sprinkle with 1/4 of the cheese filling.
Roll the sheet tightly from one of the long sides. Place this roll in the center of the prepared pan.
Repeat steps 3-4 with remaining phyllo sheets and filling, creating a spiral shape. The last sheet should overlap the beginning.
Drizzle 1/2 cup (120ml) of milk over the spiral.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from oven, brush with water, and cover with a clean kitchen towel to allow it to cool slightly.
**Layered Banitsa:**
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
Lay down 3 sheets of phyllo pastry. Brush with melted butter.
Spread 1/3 of the cheese filling over the phyllo sheets.
Repeat layers 3-4 twice more, ending with the remaining phyllo sheets on top.
Cut into 9 or 12 squares. Pour 1 cup (240ml) of milk evenly over the top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from oven, brush with water, and cover with a clean kitchen towel to allow it to cool slightly.
Serve both versions warm with a dollop of plain yogurt.
