About the dish

Sečenica is a traditional savory pie originating from Vranje. It's made with a combination of flour, oil, yeast, salt, sugar, milk, cheese, and eggs. Once the dough has been prepared, it's rolled into thin sheets, brushed with oil, then stuffed with a combination of cheese and egg whites. The yolks are used to brush the pie before it's baked in the oven. If desired, sour cream can be added to the cheese and egg whites. Once it turns golden brown on the exterior, sečenica is ready to be enjoyed. This pie is usually sliced into squares before serving.
