Zapečeni štrukli

Zapečeni štrukli is a Croatian dish that is especially popular in the Zagorje and Međimurje regions, as well as Zagreb. The dough for these štrukli is made with flour, oil, lukewarm water, and salt, while the filling consists of fresh cow's cheese, eggs, butter, salt, and a bit of sugar. Once the štrukli have been assembled and rolled, they are first shortly boiled, then transferred to the oven. Before baking, they are traditionally topped with heavy cream, sour cream, or a combination of both. Zapečeni štrukli are done once they develop a golden-brown color on the exterior.
