About Borek
Borek is a savory pastry originating from Turkish cuisine, popular across the Balkans and the Middle East. It is typically made by layering thin sheets of dough, such as phyllo or yufka, with fillings like seasoned ground meat, cheese, spinach, or potatoes, then baking or frying to achieve a golden, crispy texture. Rich in flavor and satisfying, Borek can be a source of protein and fiber depending on the filling. However, it is also high in calories due to its buttery dough and preparation methods, which may include oil or butter. While homemade versions can be tailored for a healthier profile by using lean proteins or whole-grain dough, traditional Borek tends to be indulgent and calorie-dense. It’s best enjoyed in moderation, paired with fresh sides like salad or yogurt to balance its nutritional impact.
