Börek
Börek is a delicious savory pastry popular in Turkish cuisine. It is typically made with thin layers of dough called yufka or phyllo, filled with various ingredients such as cheese, spinach, or minced meat. It can be baked or fried, and is enjoyed as a snack or as part of a meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound phyllo dough
- 1 pound feta cheese crumbled
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a baking dish.
- In a bowl, mix the crumbled feta cheese, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Lay out a sheet of phyllo dough and brush it with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush with butter again. Repeat this process until you have a stack of 6-8 sheets.
- Spread a layer of the cheese mixture over the phyllo stack.
- Roll the stack into a log shape and place it in the greased baking dish, coiling it around to fit.
- Brush the top of the börek with more melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the börek is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
