There is a Cheese börek, which happens to be an amazing Turkish pastry stuffed with yummy cheese and wrapped in thin layers of dough. It is popular throughout Turkey and the Middle East where it’s commonly served as an appetizer or a snack that tastes just great. By making your own cheese börek at home you can eat the flaky, cheesy goodness any time.
First of all, gather your ingredients: feta cheese, parsley, phyllo dough, egg and butter. The thin delicate layers that make up the pastry for börek are referred to as phyllo dough which tends to be crispy compared to the creamy cheese filling. This tangy taste of feta cheese combines well with fresh parsley while eggs used help hold everything together.
Starting off with preparing the cheese filling by crumbling the feta cheese into a bowl mix it well together with chopped parsley and beaten eggs. This simple yet tasty filling captures all that one expects from traditional cheese börek because it has both rich soft creamy cheeses along with aromatic herbs.
Afterwards go ahead and arrange the phyllo dough and then put out some of them on top filled with some chopped parsley mixed eggs and crumbled feta on each sheet of phyllo dough on each side; this will ensure that golden brown crust develops when cooking it in buttered pan. The rest should be brushed using more butter before baking them until both sides become golden brown in color again.
Meanwhile, bake the börek in an oven that has been preheated until it becomes golden brown and crispy on the outside while the cheese filling melts inside. The scent of freshly baked cheese börek is likely to fill your kitchen provoking you to taste its irresistible flavors.
Allow the börek to cool for a short period before you can cut into it and serve it hot. Cheese bork will be enjoyed as a snack or a side dish thus becoming one of those flaky layers that turn your mouth watery with gooey cheese stuffing. In case you want to have these Turkish tastes at home, through this homemade recipe, you can make some fresh böreks that boast of being comforting whenever needed.
