Cheese Pie- Gibanica

Updated: Feb 14

  • This is a recipe for a Serbian cheese pie called Gibanica, the main ingredients are eggs, cheese, yogurt and thin crusts. I make it quite often, it's very tasty, the skins and the filling are delicious and wonderful. Many make it with only cheese and eggs, with the addition of oil, mineral water and baking powder. I added butter to this recipe as a topping over the crust, and I can tell you that the pie is fantastic. Follow recipe.

Ingredients: simple, total time: 70 min. 8 servings
  • 500 g fresh cottage cheese

  • 500 g pie thin crust

  • 3 eggs

  • 250 ml of yogurt

  • 100 ml of oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt

  • 50 g of melted butter

Preparation:
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.

  2. Whisk the eggs and yogurt in a bowl.

  3. Add cottage cheese and salt to the egg and yogurt mixture, then mix everything well.

  4. Take a round baking tray and grease it with oil.

  5. Place one pie crust in the bottom of the pan, brush with a little oil and sprinkle with some crumbled cheese.

  6. Place the second pie crust on top of the first, then spread again with a little oil and crumbled cheese.

  7. Continue this process until you have used up all the pie crusts.

  8. At the end, pour the remaining part of the egg and yogurt mixture over the pie.

  9. Melt the butter on the stove, then pour it over the pie.

  10. Bake in the oven for about 45–50 minutes, until the pie gets a nice golden brown color.

  11. Take out the pie and slice it, cover the pie with a clean and moistened cloth. Let it cool 10 minutes, then cut it into cubes and enjoy the food. Buon appetito!

NOTE: If the cheese is not salty, add more salt. When you buy cheese, make sure that it is fresh and crumbled cow's cheese and that it is a little saltier. If you don't have it, you can also serve feta Greek cheese, which you can dilute with some neutral cheese of the Philadelphia type. Enjoy the flavors and a good snack.
