What is Zapiekanka?

For those unfamiliar, zapiekanka (sometimes affectionately referred to as zapieksa) is a beloved Polish street food that has captured the hearts—and stomachs—of many since its creation in the 1970s. Originally hailing from the vibrant student city of Kraków, zapiekanka was quickly embraced across Poland for its simple yet utterly delicious combination of flavours.

The star of the dish is a crispy, toasted baguette, generously topped with a savoury mixture of mushrooms, melted cheese, and fresh spring onion. The finishing touch? A drizzle of your choice of tangy ketchup or creamy garlic sauce. Each bite offers a delightful crunch paired with the rich, earthy flavours of mushrooms and the creamy indulgence of melted cheese, making it the perfect snack or meal for any time of day.

Zapiekanka's popularity grew from its humble beginnings, becoming an essential part of Polish street food culture. It was once known as a favourite snack among students, but today, it has become a go-to option for anyone seeking a hearty and satisfying meal on the go. Whether you're familiar with Polish cuisine or discovering it for the first time, a bite of zapiekanka is sure to leave you craving more.
