Also known as: Belokranjska povitica
Thin rolled pastry with fresh cheese, heated cream and egg.
About Belokranjska Povitica
RIC Bela krajina presents this povitica as a traditional savoury regional pastry. Thin stretched dough encloses fresh homemade cheese, heated cream and eggs.
Salt seasons both the dough and filling, with vinegar and oil included in the pastry. The dairy filling supplies richness, while the dish remains savoury rather than sweet.
The rolled pastry is usually arranged in a round tin and baked crisp and light brown, with space between its thin layers. It is served in small rounds, with Metliška črnina wine suggested alongside.
