Plăcintă cu brânză is a common bakery item across Romania, eaten as a snack, breakfast, or light dessert at any time of day.
A flaky Romanian pastry filled with sweetened farmer's cheese, folded and baked until golden — a beloved everyday treat found at bakeries nationwide.
Make a soft, elastic dough from flour and water. Rest 30 minutes, then stretch very thin.
Mix cheese with eggs and sugar for the filling.
Spread filling over the stretched dough, brush with melted butter, and fold into a rectangular parcel.
Bake at 190C for 20-25 minutes until deeply golden.
Stretch the dough as thin as possible — traditional plăcintă should be paper-thin with many delicate layers.
