About Burek

Burek is a savory pastry that originates from the Balkan region and is popular across Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Typically made from thin layers of phyllo dough, Burek is filled with a variety of ingredients, commonly minced meat, cheese, spinach, or potatoes, and rolled or folded into distinctive shapes like spirals or parcels. While its thin, flaky exterior makes it light and crispy, Burek is often rich due to the use of oil or butter in preparing the dough. Nutritionally, it provides protein and energy, especially when filled with meat or cheese, but it is often high in saturated fats and carbohydrates, making it a treat better enjoyed in moderation. Variations and homemade recipes can offer healthier options, such as leaner fillings and reduced fat content. Burek remains a beloved comfort food, celebrated for its satisfying taste and cultural ties to festive gatherings and everyday meals.
