Karađorđeva šnicla

Serbia · Europe

Short description: This stuffed cutlet is a rich rolled schnitzel with a creamy dairy center.
Ingredients: A veal or pork cutlet stuffed with kajmak, breaded with flour, egg, and crumbs, then fried and served with tartar sauce, lemon, and potatoes.
Cultural note: A mid-20th-century restaurant improvisation became a standard menu item with a deliberately theatrical rolled shape.
Common misconception: It is related to stuffed schnitzel, but the traditional filling centers on kajmak rather than hard cheese alone.
