Borek is a baked pastry filled with meat, cheese, or vegetables. The pastry dough is called “Yufka” in Turkey. It is famous throughout Turkey and parts of the Middle-East. 

Cheese Borek

It is a super tasty snack recipe where the ‘phyllo’ dough is boiled in water. The filling generally consists of parsley and cheese. It is baked at 350 degrees and olive oil is used for brushing. Because olive oil and butter are used, it is healthy and tasty at the same time. This savory pastry is filled with a large amount of cheese making it cheesy and super moist. It is one of the most difficult Boreks to prepare, but once consumed it leaves an everlasting impact and it also enhances the taste buds. The dough sheets are soaked in a combination with water, olive oil, butter, milk, and eggs which makes it tender and juicy.
