Notes
- The traditional Bulgarian yellow cheese is called kashkaval. It can be substituted by cheddar, gouda or other similar kinds.
- The Bulgarian white cheese sirene is similar to feta but made of cow milk. You can substitute it with feta, ricotta or cottage cheese.
- Don't add too many or too strong spices to these sandwiches. Black pepper or savory are simple and good options. You can also sprinkle Homemade Sharena Sol.
