Kajmak is one of the rare authentic Serbian specialties. Try this traditional recipe for an authentic taste of Gibanica.

Ingredients:
1 packet of fresh filo pastry (500 g)
400g white cheese
1 cup kajmak
1 cup oil
1 tbs mineral water
4 eggs



Preparation:
Take a large bowl and smash the cheese, add the eggs, kajmak, oil and mineral water and beat thoroughly. Mineral water gives moisture and helps the rising. Heat oven to 200 oC (380F). Grease a round baking dish with oil. Leave 2 sheets to for the cover. Loosely crumple each of the remaining sheets, dunk it into the stuffing and place at random. Repeat until the baking dish is full. Cover with the two sheets you've left aside and bake about 45 min.
When it is almost cooked, take it out from the oven and sprinkle with cold water and return to the oven. Bake for about 15 minutes until the top gets reddish brown color. Cut into squares and serve.

It is Gibanica. Make yourself at home and enjoy!
