About Cheese borek

Cheese Borek is a savory pastry originating from Turkish cuisine, prized for its flaky texture and rich flavor. Typically made with phyllo dough, this dish is filled with a blend of cheeses such as feta, ricotta, or white cheese, and often enhanced with fresh herbs like parsley or dill. It is baked or fried to golden perfection, creating a crisp outside and soft, melty interior. While Cheese Borek provides protein and calcium from the cheese, it can be high in saturated fat depending on the type of cheese used and the preparation method. The phyllo dough, though light and delicate, typically contains refined flour and can be higher in calories if layered with butter or oil. Moderation is key with this indulgent treat, which serves as a satisfying appetizer or snack in the wider Mediterranean and Middle Eastern culinary tradition.
