Ground Beef Toast

Ground Beef Toast

The ground beef toast is one of those classic Bulgarian recipes that taste like childhood and home cooking. In different parts of Bulgaria it's known as Strandzhanka or Princesa, but whatever you call it, the combination of crispy bread, juicy seasoned ground beef and a golden baked crust is always a favorite. This Zone version keeps the traditional taste while providing a better balance of protein, carbs and fat.

Steps to prepare

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 180–200 °C (356–392 °F).

2. Make the topping

In a bowl, mix the ground beef, egg white and grated kashkaval. Knead well until evenly combined. Season with a little salt, black pepper or savory if you like.

3. Prepare the bread

Measure the bread you need and arrange the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the topping evenly over each slice, pressing it down lightly with a spoon.

4. Bake

Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden and the meat is fully cooked. For a deeper color, turn on the top heating element for the last 2–3 minutes.

5. Serve

Let the toasts cool for 2–3 minutes and serve with fresh tomatoes, a salad or other seasonal vegetables.
