- Bacon — Cook the bacon until crispy before crumbling it into the filling. This will add a smoky and savory flavor to the Priška.
Tips & Tricks
- For a vegetarian version, you can substitute the bacon with mushrooms or roasted vegetables for added flavor.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices in the filling to customize the taste according to your preference.
- Serve the Priška with a dollop of sour cream or a side of fresh salad for a complete meal.
Serving advice
Serve the Priška hot as a main course or as an appetizer. Pair it with a side of mixed greens or a refreshing cucumber salad to complement the flavors.
Presentation advice
Arrange the Priška on a platter, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. The golden-brown color of the pastry will be visually appealing, enticing your guests to dig in.
