CHEESE BöREK

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 stick unsalted butter, melted, divided
3 store-bought yufka sheets (Turkish flatbread) or phyllo dough, available at Middle Eastern specialty stores or online
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups whole milk
3/4 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt, divided
1 pound buffalo mozzarella
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons nigella seeds, available at Middle Eastern specialty stores or online; also known as kalonji or black onion seed
1 medium tomato, halved crosswise
1/2 teaspoon marash red pepper flakes, available at Middle Eastern specialty stores or online
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch square baking dish with 1 teaspoon of the melted butter. Lay a yufka sheet into the baking dish, tucking it into the corners with the edges hanging over the sides. (Don't worry if it's not perfect-yufka is very forgiving.) Whisk eggs and egg yolks in a mixing bowl; then whisk in milk, yogurt, salt, and remaining melted butter. Pour ¼ cup of this custard over the prepared yufka. Repeat with a second layer of yufka and custard. Note: Yufka will dry out if it's not used right away. Cover with a clean towel if you're going to finish the dish later.
  • Break up the mozzarella into bite-size pieces. Reserve ½ cup custard. Distribute ⅓ of the mozzarella over the bottom of the yufka. Fold edges of one of the yufka sheets into the middle, creating a new layer. Add half of the custard and mozzarella, then lay on another sheet of yufka dough. Add the remaining custard and mozzarella, then fold over the edges of the current yufka, followed by the edges of the very first one. Press down with your hand to soak the yufka. Whisk flour into reserved custard and pour over the börek. Using a small knife, score the pastry into squares, like a tic-tac-toe board. Sprinkle with nigella seeds and let rest, 15-20 minutes.
  • Place börek in the oven and increase heat to 350 degrees F. Bake until börek is set, golden brown, and puffed on top, 50 minutes. Cool 15 minutes.
  • When cool, cut into 3" x 3" squares. Place a box grater over a bowl and grate the cut sides of a tomato on the largest holes. Discard the skin. Add pepper, olive oil, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir and set aside. Heat a skillet over low heat. Place the börek slices, cheese side down, into the heated skillet and lightly brown the cheese, 1 minute. Flip and brown the other side, 1 more minute. Serve with tomato purée on the side.

FETA CHEESE BUREK (PHYLLO DOUGH)



Feta Cheese Burek (Phyllo Dough) image

An Eastern European delicacy. Probably one of the most loved foods from the Balkans. There are two ways to create burek: with homemade dough or with phyllo dough (pre-made store-bought). In this recipe we will be using the pre-made phyllo dough. You can put potatoes, meat, spinach, boiled cabbage, or feta cheese inside! This one will be with feta cheese. Truly a tasty meal! And very easy to make! Eat with yogurt for authenticity.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup feta cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 cup cottage cheese
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese (such as Philadelphia®), softened

1 cup vegetable oil
