Beigli is a traditional Hungarian pastry, served usually at Christmas or during other important holidays. This sweet pastry of eye-catching appearance is prepared from the combination of yeast-based dough and poppy-seed or walnut filling, which gives it a unique flavor, perfectly composing with the aroma of afternoon tea or coffee. Sliced beigli presents itself nicely on a Christmas table, especially if it is served in two versions: with black and light brown fillings that form delicious spirals.
