The Basics
- Dish: Appetizers and Starters
- cuisine: Other
- Serves: 8
- Prep Time: 0hrs 15 mins
- Cooking Time: 0hrs 40 mins
Ingredients
- 10-12 sheets Filo pastry
- 500 gr white cheese (Feta/goat cheese)
- 100 gr pack butter (melted)
- 3-4 eggs
- 250 ml soda water
- Pinch salt
- 1 pack spinach (Optional)
Method
Oil a medium size deep oven dish, cover bottom with a sheet of filo pastry, sprinkle melted butter, sprinkle crumbled white cheese, and continue layering filo pastry with butter and cheese. Finish with a layer of filo pastry and butter. In a separate dish beat the eggs, add salt, and soda water. Pour slowly over the dish with the banitza and let it soak in. Cook in a preheated oven (180-200 C) for about 40 minutes or until the banitza has risen slightly and has nicely browned on top. Leave to cool for about 30 minutes and serve. I like it with greek yoghurt on the side.
If you wish you can add sauteed spinach when layering the banitza.

My both parents were born in Bulgaria and grown in Israel. My grandma used to make us a lot of Banizta and some other pastries such as Borekas, if you have been in Israel you should be familiar with those greasy and tasty philo dough. I will distribute some more recipes later on today,
Nice to meet you!
