Pastrmalija (Macedonian: Пастрмалија) or colloquially Pastrmajlija (Macedonian: Пастрмајлија) is a Macedonian bread pie made from dough, cheese, eggs and meat. Pastrmalija is usually oval-shaped with sliced meat cubes on top of it, and in some regions people put cheese, and in some regions people put eggs 5 minutes before the finish of the baking. Its name derives from the word pastrma, meaning salted and dried meat of sheep or lamb (cf. "pastırma"). It is based on the Turkish İçli Pide. Although it is officially called pastrmalija, a popular name among the Macedonian people is "pastrmajlija", only adding the letter "j".
In its honor, the city of Štip organizes an annual festival called "Pastrmalijada".
