Mlinci na varaždinski

Mlinci na varaždinski is a savory dish originating from the Croatian city of Varaždin. The key ingredient used in the dish are mlinci – thin and dry sheets made with flour, water, and salt. In order to prepare the dish, speck should be cut into cubes and fried.

It is then combined with fresh cow’s cheese, salt, pepper, and sour cream. Mlinci are shortly steamed, then left to dry. A baking dish is greased, then layered with mlinci and a combination of other ingredients. The top is sprinkled with grated Varaždinec cheese, hence the name of the dish.

The whole thing is drizzled over with heavy cream and baked in the oven until golden brown. This delicious casserole can be served on its own as a main dish or as a warm appetizer.
