Štrukli

Description

Štrukli is a rather simple 'pulled pasta' dish, which, depending on the type of filling, can be either savory or sweet. Once the dough has been pulled, filled, and rolled, it is cut into smaller pieces which can then be baked or cooked. The best-known version of this dish is the savory variety filled with fresh cheese, eggs, and sour cream, baked in the oven and coated with either butter or sour cream. This traditional meal from the Zagorje and Međimurje regions has a long history spanning over the last several centuries. However, the dish and its many versions are known throughout all of central Croatia, as well as in the city of Zagreb.
