TURKISH CHEESE AND HERB CIGARS



Turkish Cheese and Herb Cigars image

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...except when it is crisp, golden-brown phyllo wrapped around a mix of cheese and herbs. Then it's perfect party fare. Don't be tempted to overstuff the cigars: the smear of salty filling is just enough to balance the layers of phyllo, and excess filling will leak while baking. Rolling the cigars takes a little time, so try making them ahead and freezing them in an airtight container. Bake them right from the freezer, and eat them piping hot.

Time 55m

Yield 12 cigars

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ounces farmer's cheese
2 ounces feta, crumbled
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1 large egg
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped dill fronds
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Freshly ground black pepper
Six 16- to 17-by-12-inch sheets phyllo dough, thawed according to package directions (see Cook's Note)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mash the farmer's cheese, feta and mozzarella together in a bowl using a fork. Work the egg in with the fork, then stir in the parsley, dill, chives, lemon zest and a large pinch of black pepper.
  • Put a damp, clean towel on your counter. Unfold the phyllo sheets on top and cover with another damp, clean towel.
  • Put 1 sheet of phyllo on a cutting board with the long side closest to you and brush lightly with butter. Top with another sheet of phyllo and brush lightly with butter. Top with a third sheet of phyllo and brush lightly with butter. Cut the phyllo in half crosswise, then cut each half horizontally into thirds. Place the rectangles on a baking sheet and set aside. Repeat with the remaining phyllo.
  • Working with one buttered phyllo stack at a time, spread a heaping tablespoon of cheese along the long edge of each rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border at each end. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll up from the bottom edge of the phyllo. Transfer rolled cigars to a baking sheet seam-side down and brush each with a little butter. Repeat with the remaining phyllo, filling and butter.
  • Bake the cigars, rotating the pan halfway through, until crispy and golden-brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

SIGARA BOUREGI/BOUREK TURKISH CHEESE CIGARS



Sigara Bouregi/Bourek Turkish Cheese Cigars image

From Delicious Istanbul. I loooove these and always go ape at my favorite Turkish joints getting these and eating them with yummy red lentil soup...this home version really isn't as difficult as I thought it'd be! And I like that they're baked, not fried; I can even whip up a small batch in my toaster! I didn't include time to thaw out your phyllo, as I usually get impatient and just leave it sitting next to the toaster or other warm device and let it speed up the thawing. Soft white cheese like Israeli or Bulgarian feta (which is different from actual feta) is also good for this. A little fresh dill is also awesome in these.

Categories     Cheese

Time 35m

Yield 12 cigars, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 phyllo pastry sheets (or 12 precut yufka triangles if you're lucky to find them!)
2/3 cup feta cheese
1 egg, beaten and divided
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley (must be fresh for that tang!)
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
pepper (a few shakes)
water, for sealing the boureks
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Prepare the filling by mixing the cheese, parsley, half the egg, salt, and pepper. You can do this with a hand mixer or food processor/blender, or a fork if you want to give your arms a good workout. Set aside into a bowl.
  • Lay the 3 phyllo sheets down on top of each other on a clean surface. With a knife (or ease, a pizza cutter) slice them vertically down the middle to get 2 long, even rectangles. Slice each rectangle diagonally to get 12 even, thin triangles.
  • Take one phyllo triangle and place it so that its shorter side is closer to you and place a table spoon of filling along the opposite end of the triangle (not the pointy part facing you.).
  • Tuck the bottom of the triangle over the filling then roll up into a thin cigar (you'll be flattening it a little.) Wet the pointy tip of the triangle with water for sealing and place on a baking sheet coated in foil or parchment paper.
  • Repeat this until you have no more filling or phyllo left; should have 12 "cigars".
  • Brush each cigar completely with half the egg, then the olive oil. To make sure the bottoms cook, I prefer to line my casserole pan with foil and put some of this egg-olive oil mixture all over the foil.
  • Bake at 450F for 12-15 minutes or until golden-brown. Goes great with red lentil soup!

  • Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and chill until ready to use. This can be made several hours ahead.
  • Set up a work station: Set out your roll of phyllo sheets and cover them with a damp dish towel. You’ll need a small bowl of water, a pizza cutter, and a large plate or tray to lay the rolls on.
  • Place one sheet of phyllo on your work surface with the longer edge facing you. Cut it, vertically, into 4 equal strips. Put about 2 teaspoons of the feta mixture near the end of one strip, leaving a one-inch border on each side. Fold the 2 long sides of the phyllo over so they meet in the middle, covering the cheese filling. Roll up the filling and keep rolling until you get almost to the end of the strip. Moisten the end with some water and then finish rolling. The water helps seal the roll. Repeat with the other 3 rolls. Set them on a plate. Repeat the process until you use up your filling. Leftover phyllo sheets can be kept in the fridge for a few days, tightly sealed in plastic. (see photos and tips in the blog post)
