Prijesnac is a traditional cheese pie originating from the Trebinje area of Herzegovina and the northern parts of Montenegro, but it is also eaten in the entire Bosnia and Herzegovina. The pie is made with a combination of cottage cheese, kaymak or sour cream, eggs, milk, flour, oil, salt, and baking powder.
The batter is placed into an oiled baking tray and the pie is then baked until golden brown. Once done, prijesnac is served immediately while still warm. Although there is not much information about this simple peasant dish, it is believed that the locals had originally prepared it in order to make use of leftover cheese.
