Macheteadas with a Bulgarian Twist

Ingredients

In the Bulgarian Macheteadas, we replace the traditional Honduran cheese with Bulgarian feta cheese, which adds a tangy and creamy flavor. Additionally, we incorporate Bulgarian yogurt for a smoother and lighter texture. The use of Bulgarian herbs, such as parsley and dill, adds a fresh and aromatic element to the dish.
