Burek for the Win

My favorite part of Serbia? The burek.

Burek is a traditional Serbian breakfast food that is made up of buttery, flakey dough and filled with meats, cheeses, vegetables or Nutella.

Fun facts:

  1. Burek is sold by weight and you order it by grams
  2. It is cut/served like a slice of pizza and then wrapped in paper if you’re taking it to go
  3. Everyone drinks yogurt with their burek, which is pretty sour
  4. There are specialized burek pastry shops where that’s all they serve
  5. My order: “200g burek s mesom” (200g burek with meat)
