This Zone banitsa is a lighter, balanced take on the classic Bulgarian pastry. Instead of traditional white cheese, it uses skyr and cottage cheese, which raise the protein and lower the fat. Together they create a rich but tender texture that keeps you full longer.

Steps to prepare

1. Make the filling

Add the eggs to a bowl, whisk and season with a little salt. Add the skyr and stir again. Finally, add the cheese.

2. Prepare the phyllo

Roll up the phyllo sheets and cut them into small pieces with scissors. Separate the pieces well.

3. Layer the banitsa

Put some of the phyllo on the bottom of a small baking dish lined with parchment paper. Add a little olive oil and some of the filling. Repeat until you run out of phyllo. Finish with filling and olive oil for a nicely browned top.

4. Bake

Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (356 °F) for 30 minutes. Then bake at 200 °C (392 °F) for about 10 more minutes, or until golden.
