About Bourekas

Bourekas are savory pastries originating from Sephardic Jewish cuisine, widely enjoyed in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean regions. Typically crafted with flaky puff pastry or phyllo dough, they are stuffed with a variety of fillings such as potato, spinach, feta cheese, mushrooms, or meat. The pastries are then baked until golden and crisp. Bourekas are known for their rich flavor and satisfying texture, making them a popular choice for snacks or meals. While bourekas are irresistibly tasty, they can be high in calories, saturated fats, and sodium due to the buttery dough and cheese-based fillings. However, they do provide some nutritional benefits, such as protein and vitamins from fillings like spinach or mushrooms. Portion control and opting for healthier fillings like low-fat cheese or vegetables can make them a more balanced choice.
