About Fli
Tatiana Stanaj measured this fli while preparing it beside her mother, aiming to reproduce the family dish. Her version alternates thin batter with a mixture of feta and kajmak, building a large layered bake.
Egg and olive oil enrich the batter, while feta contributes a salty dairy flavour. Kajmak is the selected original dairy ingredient; the author’s cream-cheese substitute is a separate option and is not combined with it.
The finished bake has soft inner layers and a crisp exterior. Stanaj cuts hers into diamonds and serves it with yogurt, retaining her home-oven family presentation rather than copying a separate outdoor sač recipe.
