Prep Time: 12 hrs / Cook Time: 10 min / Total Time: 12 hrs 10 min

In many countries of the world, such a dish has not even been of heard. When I talk to native Bulgarians about such dishes as casserole or cottage cheese Easter or curd pancakes, they ask with horror, are you sure that cottage cheese can be eaten with sugar? It's terrible... But still, some of my Bulgarian friends, having tried my casserole, say - but it's delicious !! I didn’t let anyone try Easter, I ate everything myself. But if suddenly you live in Bulgaria and you have access to delicious cottage cheese - I invite you to experiment!
