Strandzhanka

Strandzhanka is a traditional snack originating from the Burgas area. It consists of a slice of bread that's topped with a thin layer of minced meat and spices such as savory, black pepper, and paprika. The bread is then baked in an oven or grilled.

Strandzhanka is often served for breakfast, brunch, or as an afternoon snack, and many people like to spread lyutenitsa or sharena sol (spice blend) on top of it. It's recommended to serve this snack with a cup of ayran on the side. In other parts of Bulgaria, there is a similar dish called princess, which is also topped with kashkaval cheese and it's always baked in the oven.
