Dızmana is a cheese pastry mostly made in Trakya region of Turkey. Actually it’s made by just the Turkish immigrants migrated from Bulgaria around 80’s. It’s a soft, savory pastry filled with cheese and topped with a yogurt and egg mixture.

You van eat it at breakfast with tea or at lunch or dinner with cold beverages.
