About Burekas
Burekas are flaky, savory pastries originating from Middle Eastern and Balkan cuisines, particularly popular in Turkish, Israeli, and Sephardic Jewish traditions. Typically made with puff pastry or phyllo dough, they are filled with a variety of ingredients such as cheese, potatoes, spinach, mushrooms, or meat. Their golden exterior is often brushed with egg wash and sprinkled with sesame or nigella seeds for added flavor and texture. While Burekas are incredibly satisfying and packed with flavor, they are generally high in calories and fat due to the buttery pastry and rich fillings. The fillings can provide nutrients like protein and vitamins, depending on the ingredients used, such as spinach or mushrooms. However, their high carbohydrate and fat content makes them best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Perfect as a snack or appetizer, Burekas offer a delightful taste of tradition with a tempting flaky crunch.
