Cașcaval pane

Cașcaval pane is an Eastern European dish made usually with cheese similar to Gouda that is coated in bread crumbs. In Romania and Bulgaria, this cheese is called Cașcaval or Кашкавал (Kashkaval) respectively, hence the beginning of the name 'Kashkaval Pane'. Kashkaval is a common cheese in Eastern Europe, especially the Balkans and parts of Central Europe and is also eaten in parts of Southern Europe. Cașcaval pane is traditionally served as an appetiser and can be garnished with fried potatoes (french fries or chips), mamaliga (polenta), with mujdei or a variety of salads.
