Grilled cheese is one of life’s little pleasures. Warm toasty bread, oozy melty grilled cheese…it doesn’t get better than this. Except in Macedonia where they top their grilled cheese with…wait for it….more cheese!!!
Today we’re continuing our visit to the Balkan States with a little look at Przeni Lepcinja – Macedonian grilled cheese.
Macedonian Grilled Cheese is essentially a cheesy French toast, topped with cheese. It’s delicious and so quick and easy to make!
The blend of creamy melted mozzarella and the salty feta cheese is great and perfect with the crisp french toast style bread!
I found the recipe for Macedonian Grilled Cheese here I’ve also copied it below. I served mine with a little tomato and red onion salsa that was very similar to the Sopska Salata featured here. Although given the double cheese abundance in the toast, I left the cheese out of the salad!
If you feel like something a bit more substantial, this is also great if you serve with a poached or fried egg on top…this I think also has a nice symmetry – cheesy eggy bread, topped with cheese and egg.
And now, just because I can, here’s a cheesy joke for you:
What’s cheese’s favourite music?
R ‘n’ Brie.

Cheesy and cheesy if you know what I mean.
Just like a Przeni Lepcinja!
Have a great week!

Looks delicious! Might have to try that one tonight (but due to living in Greece, I’m going to have to call it, “Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia” Grilled Cheese).
Haha…Oh yes! I hope you enjoy whatever it’s called! xx
Ooohh..I bet you have really good feta cheese?
