Best Gibanica Gib A Neetza Recipes
GIBANICA (GIB-A-NEETZA)
My husband is Serbian and this is a staple at our table. This is a wonderful phyllo/cheese dish. You can also add a few ounces of farmer cheese to your cheese mixture. It adds great flavor. Not for low-cal dieters for sure!

Steps:
- Beat eggs until foamy.
- Add sifted flour and salt.
- Beat well.
- Add sour cream and mix well.
- Add cheese and fold thoroughly.
- Grease a 13x9x2 inch pan.
- Place 2 sheets of phyllo in pan.
- Pour about 2 tablespoons melted butter over dough and brush to edges.
- Spread about 6 large spoons of cheese mixture on top.
- Repeat the dough and butter and continue to layer with cheese mixture until 2 sheets of phyllo are left.
- Add last two sheets on top and pour remaining butter over dough.
- Bake uncovered in 325 degree oven for one hour.
- It will get puffy and golden brown, but will reduce down when it cools. (I test for doneness by shaking the pan a bit; if the cheese doesn't move; it's done. If it's getting too dark and the cheese is still jiggly, cover with foil and continue to bake).
- Cut into squares and serve warm.

SLOVENIAN TRADITIONAL - PREKMURSKA GIBANICA
The best way to translate the name is "folded cake". This is one of the most famous and loved Slovenian dishes. It comes from our most eastern region Prekmurje whose cousine is inspired by Hungarian and Austrian traditions. The recipe is very old and varies a little from family to family. I got this one from a Slovenian cookbook to be certain that all the measurements are correct. The preparation takes quite some time but it is all worth it.
