    Au-Gratin potatoes Bulgarian style.

    The addition of eggs in this recipe makes it light and fluffy.

    If you can’t find Bulgarian Feta, try Greek, or a good Farmers cheese.

    This makes a wonderful side dish, to any type of meat or can be eaten as a vegetarian entrée.

    It reheats well for left overs.
