Evidence behind this edition
What the research supports—and what this version changes.
Reviewed August 2, 2026. Research sources inform this edition. Any external cook verification is separately named, linked and limited to the independently prepared version described in that source.
Shared foundation
A richer Serbian cornmeal quick bread with cheese, eggs, yogurt and sparkling water, better distinguished from austere proja as projara/proja sa sirom.
This edition’s disclosed choices
- Retain the explicit naming caveat in the intro.
- Use 'proja sa sirom' as a search-friendly name but identify it as projara/enriched proja.
Safety and allergen record
Declared allergens: milk, egg, wheat
Treat as an egg casserole: cook to 160°F/71°C; refrigerate within 2 hours, use within 3–4 days and reheat to 165°F/74°C.
Ingredient labels and cross-contact must be checked for the actual brands used; USDA temperatures are safety floors, not claims that the current recipe was tested.
