Keto Banitsa
This keto banitsa captures the savory spirit of the classic Bulgarian pastry, no phyllo required. While traditional banitsa uses paper thin dough for its layers, this version creates a rich, custardy base for briny feta using a clever blend of cheeses and eggs. It’s a thoughtful adaptation that keeps the original’s essential flavors, from the salty cheese filling to the toasted sesame seed crust, making a beloved Balkan staple accessible for a low carb kitchen.
