Burek with meat is a savory pastry originating from the Balkans, particularly popular in countries like Bosnia, Serbia, and Croatia. This dish features thin layers of phyllo dough stuffed with seasoned ground meat, typically beef or lamb, mixed with onions and spices. Baked until golden and flaky, burek is a satisfying comfort food often enjoyed as a snack, breakfast, or light meal. While rich in protein from the meat filling, its high calorie content stems from the phyllo dough, which is traditionally made with butter or oil, making it less ideal for those watching fat and carbohydrate intake. Burek is a good energy source, but moderation is key due to its relatively high fat and sodium levels. Pairing it with fresh salad or yogurt can create a more balanced meal. Enjoy this classic dish as a flavorful indulgence rooted in Balkan culinary tradition.
