Međimurska gibanica

Međimurska gibanica is a type of gibanica, or layer cake, originating from Međimurje County, Croatia. It is made of filo pastry and four fillings: walnuts, fresh quark, poppy seeds and apples, as well as of many additional ingredients. It is a traditional dish, especially popular in Northern Croatia, rich in flavour and full of calories, a delicacy which is an integral component of Croatian cuisine. This dessert cake recipe is one of the large number of regional varieties of gibanica which have been developed in other regions of Central and Eastern Europe. A base layer of prepared dough is stretched in a suitable casserole previously greased with fat. It is then covered with the first of four layers of filling consisting of milk sodden chopped or ground walnuts, fresh quark cheese, milk sodden ground poppy seed and grated apples. The layer of filling is spread over the entire surface, followed by the second layer of dough, the second layer of filling and so on, until all four layers of filling are put on. The final layer of dough is topped with poured sour cream previously mixed with melted butter and/or egg.
