Description

Borek has a very special place in Turkish cuisine.

Phyllo dough sheets, which we call yufka, can be found in small shops in Turkey, where women make and sell them fresh.

I made this recipe with the frozen phyllo sheets which you can find in the frozen sections of the supermarkets.

Ingredients

Servings

8 ounces Phyllo Dough Sheets (Contains Approximately 20 Sheets)
8 ounces Feta Cheese
1 bunch Fresh Parsley (Chopped)
³⁄₄ cups Milk
¹⁄₃ cups Light Olive Oil
1 Egg (Separate Egg White and Egg Yolk)
1 tablespoons Black Cumin

Preparation

Bring the frozen phyllo sheets to room temperature.

Smash the feta cheese with a fork in a bowl and mix with the chopped parsley.

Mix the olive oil, milk, and egg white until they are smooth in another bowl.

Place one phyllo sheet on a clean and dry counter.

Spread some of the mixtures on it...
... and put the second sheet on top.
Add cheese filling with a spoon...
Step:

Fold the sides and roll it up.
Coat a nonstick baking pan with a thin layer of olive oil, arrange the rolls on it.

Spread the egg yolk on the rolls with a brush
Sprinkle with the black cumin.

Cut a thin line on top of each roll with a knife.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Bake until the tops are golden for about 15 minutes.

Bon Appetit!
