The dish is said to have started around Zlatibor during World War I as a way to feed soldiers something calorie-dense enough to power a full day — its name literally means 'the whole works.'
A torn-open lepinja flatbread is soaked in meat drippings, then piled with kajmak, a fried or poached egg, and roast meat. It's served hot in paper or on a plate from small kafana windows as a filling on-the-go breakfast.
Why it's made this way: Its wartime origin as a dense, portable ration stuck around because it's simply an efficient way to pack bread, fat, egg, and meat into one handheld meal.
