What it is
A rustic and deeply satisfying Montenegrin specialty featuring assorted local cheeses (such as Njeguški sir or young cow's cheese) baked until bubbly and golden. This rich, molten cheese is then combined with savory pieces of smoked or cured Montenegrin meat, like pršut, creating a wonderfully flavorful and high-fat dish.
Key ingredients
Assorted Montenegrin cheeses (e.g., cow's cheese, Njeguški sir), Montenegrin smoked/cured meat (pršut, suva pečenica), butter or olive oil, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
None needed, this dish is inherently keto-friendly. Ensure no bread, honey, or other high-carb accompaniments are served.
Watch out for
None inherent to the dish itself, but ensure no sugary glazes, honey, or bread is served alongside it. Watch for hidden sugars in processed smoked meats.
