Kebapche is a classic Bulgarian dish made with grilled minced meat seasoned with spices. Long and cylindrical like a hot dog, its typically made with a combination of pork and beef seasoned with cumin, black pepper, and salt. Always grilled, kebapche is often topped with grated sirene and served with a side of lyutenitsa and french fries.

Sprouted from Middle Eastern cuisine and arrived in Bulgaria during the 14th and 15th centuries. But its only become a national food since the 20th century when countless street food stalls have shown up selling this delicacy. Bulgarian kebapche shares some similarities with the typical kebab. However, this minced meat is shaped to a cylindrical form like hotdogs before grilling.

The main ingredients include pork, black pepper, cumin, and salt; some recipes also call for minced beef. To serve kebapche as a breakfast, Bulgarians usually have it with French fries or sirene cheese, sometimes both. Nowadays, its also well-known as a drinking bait.
