Yes! 🇭🇺 Beigli (also spelled bejgli) is a traditional Hungarian rolled pastry, especially popular at Christmas and Easter. It’s a sweet yeast dough filled with either a walnut filling (diós) or a poppy seed filling (mákos), rolled up and baked into a beautiful log-shaped cake. The swirl inside makes it both festive and delicious.
