Μπουγάτσα Θεσσαλονίκης με Κρέμα
Mpougatsa is one of the most famous Greek breakfast pastries in Northern Greece. It comes with different fillings creme, cheese, meat, spinach. It has somewhat made its way to the Southern parts of Greece but the Southerners don’t seem to understand how it is different to their ‘normal’ and ‘usual’ cheese pastries.
History claims that ancients Greeks used to make pies with every kind of fealing called “placountas”. Years went by and mpougatsa stayed popular in Constantinoupolis and Smyrna. Mpougatsa in Turkish means pie fealed with cream and topped with sugar powder and cinnamon powder. After the destroyal of Smyrna and the exchange of the Greek-Turkish colonies, mpougatsa became extremely popular in north Greece and especially Thessaloniki.
