You don't have to go to Panagyurishte to eat Panagyurishte eggs. They are so popular that they can be tried anywhere. And they are so delicious that they are a frequent guest in not only the menu, but also the family table at home. The aroma of melted butter with red pepper and the smell of eggs with garlic are the main culprits. As well as their fame as a quick, easy and tempting alaminut, one of the peaks of our meatless cuisine.
In fact, connoisseurs of culinary traditions in Bulgaria are adamant that Panagyurishte eggs are as much from Panagyurishte as the Shopska salad is Shopska. Both the delicious alaminut and the classic salad are the work of the former Balkantourist.
This is the communist-era organization that aimed to take care of the development of tourism. And one of her activities was inventing new foods. The idea was to establish national and regional dishes and recipes that are part of attracting tourists from the country and abroad.
This is how this delicious formula was born - sauce of milk, garlic and cheese, veiled boiled eggs, butter, oil, paprika… And then its many varieties. According to some testimonies, people in Panagyurishte, for example, do not say this meal. Eggs 'Panagurski' styleAnd Connected Eggs.

In the Plovdiv region there are two variants of this dish - one is familiar with veiled eggs, but in the other they are already fried.
Panagyurishte eggs are only part of the considerable list of Balkantourist of artificially created food names, which have become emblematic of Bulgarian cuisine. Among them are the apparent classics "Kavarma in Radomir style", "Bean soup in monastery style", "Pepper burek", "Shopski cheese" and others. - all imposed by the communist national tour operator.
After the fall of the regime and the beginning of the transition, many of the classic recipes began to change. For example, by adding new products, variants of "Shopska salad" appear, such as "Shepherd's salad". Peppers, yellow cheese, and sometimes an egg are added to the familiar kavrma. And so the national cuisine does not stop developing and enriching with new recipes and dishes.
Panagyurishte eggs however, they remain classics.
