Recipe of Börek

Join me and let's see how to make Börek

Instructions:

Step 1
• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
• In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, ricotta cheese, chopped parsley, and 1 beaten egg. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This is your filling mixture.
Step 3
• Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean surface and brush it with a mixture of olive oil and melted butter.
Step 4
• Place another sheet of phyllo pastry on top and repeat the brushing with the oil and butter mixture. Continue layering and brushing until you have 5 sheets stacked on top of each other.
Step 5
• Spread half of the cheese filling evenly over the layered phyllo sheets.
Step 6
• Continue layering and brushing the remaining 5 phyllo sheets on top of the cheese filling.
Step 7
• Spread the remaining cheese mixture over this layer.
Step 8
• Fold in the edges of the phyllo sheets to encase the filling and prevent it from oozing out during baking.
Step 9
• Carefully roll the layered phyllo sheets into a log shape, like a jellyroll.
Step 10
• Place the börek seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 11
• Beat the remaining 2 eggs and brush the top of the börek with the beaten egg.
Step 12
• If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for added flavor and texture.
Step 13
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the börek is golden brown and crispy.
Step 14
• Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade Turkish börek!
