Other common toppings include ham, salami, or a mixture of cheese and vegetables. Pogacnik can also be filled with savory ingredients such as meat, cheese, or vegetables, creating a savory pie-like pastry.

In addition to its savory variations, pogacnik can also be sweetened with sugar, jam, or fruit preserves. This sweet version is often served as a dessert or a snack.
