About Bureka

Bureka, also known as Bourekas, is a popular savory pastry originating from the culinary traditions of the Ottoman Empire and widely enjoyed in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Typically made from flaky puff pastry or phyllo dough, Bureka is filled with a variety of ingredients such as cheese, mashed potatoes, spinach, mushrooms, or ground meat. These pastries are often brushed with egg wash and topped with sesame seeds before baking for a golden, crispy texture. While Bureka is an indulgent treat, its puff pastry base tends to be high in calories, refined carbs, and saturated fats, especially when butter or margarine is used. The fillings can offer nutritional value depending on the choice, with spinach providing vitamins and minerals or potatoes offering a fiber boost. Moderation and opting for lighter fillings can make Bureka a more balanced option within a healthy diet.
