    Simple Bulgarian Banitsa, Banitsa is a very popular dish in Bulgaria, there are many ways to make it and variations in ingredients. My recipe is simple and has always came out great., Use crumbled feta and Greek yogurt instead of milk, Added this to our Thanksgiving menu since we had a Bulgarian guest. After reading reviews decided to use Greek yogurt mixed with some milk, mostly feta cheese and bit of goat cheese, no salt. Our guest said it was very good, and everyone in the family liked it a rarity at our house. Will make this again for sure.
