    My (Serbian) husband's aunt taught me how to make one of his favorite foods and the recipe is very similar but no way is the Feta cheese optional. It is a primary ingredient, as much as a pound, replacing the cream cheese and farmer's cheese. No spinach, and she often used flour tortillas (American adaptation; at the time easier to find) instead of the phyllo dough - it is a different texture but still very good. Also butter instead of oil but they grew up on a farm with cows so that is what they were more likely to have. Definitely a recipe with as many variations as there are cooks and they all look wonderful. Burek is similar but often contains meat.
