To Serve: Cut into wedges like a pie and serve warm with tea or a fresh salad.
To Store: Keep leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a dry pan to crisp up again.
To Freeze: Assemble the börek and freeze it uncooked. When ready, cook directly from frozen on low heat with the lid on, extending the cooking time slightly.
Variations
Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or chopped green chili to the filling.
Meaty Option: Add sautéed ground beef or pastırma for a heartier version.
Extra Creamy: Use a mix of feta and mozzarella for a gooey cheese pull.
FAQ
Can I use more than 4 phyllo sheets?
Definitely — just adjust the filling and wet mixture to match the layers.
What cheese works best?
Turkish beyaz peynir, feta, or any soft, full-fat white cheese works great. Even a touch of kashkaval or mozzarella can enhance the flavor.
Is flipping necessary?
Yes! Flipping ensures even browning and that irresistible crisp on both sides — totally worth the effort.
