Börek with Cheese is a savory pastry originating from Turkish cuisine, often enjoyed throughout the Middle East and Balkan regions. This dish features thin layers of yufka or phyllo dough filled with a blend of creamy white cheese, such as feta, and herbs like parsley. The dough is brushed with oil or butter and baked until golden and flaky. Börek is celebrated for its rich, satisfying flavor and versatile preparation, sometimes folded into spirals or layered casserole-style. While it provides protein and calcium from the cheese, its high fat content and refined carbohydrates make it a calorie-dense option. Opting for lighter cheese or reducing added butter can help balance its nutritional profile. Typically enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or breakfast item, Börek offers a glimpse into its regional culinary heritage while packing a hearty, indulgent bite.
