Pastrmalija (Macedonian: Пастрмалија) or colloquially Pastrmajlija (Macedonian: Пастрмајлија) is a Macedonian bread pie made from dough, cheese, eggs and meat.[1] Pastrmalija is usually oval-shaped with sliced meat cubes on top of it, and in some regions people put cheese, and in some regions people add eggs 5 minutes before it finishes baking.[2] Its name is from the word pastrma, meaning salted and dried mutton or lamb[3] (cf. "pastırma"). It is officially called pastrmalija; another popular name is "pastrmajlija".[4]
The city of Štip organizes an annual Pastrmalija festival called Pastrmalijada.[citation needed]
