About Cheese borekas
Cheese borekas are a savory pastry originating from the Middle East and Mediterranean regions, particularly popular in Israeli and Sephardic Jewish cuisines. These hand-held delights are made by wrapping flaky, golden puff pastry or phyllo dough around a creamy cheese filling, often consisting of feta, ricotta, or a blend of cheeses. Sometimes herbs like parsley or dill are added for extra flavor. While delicious, cheese borekas are an indulgent treat, containing high amounts of refined carbohydrates from the pastry and fats from the cheese. On the positive side, they provide protein and calcium from the cheese filling. For a lighter version, they can be baked instead of fried or made with whole-grain dough. Traditionally enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or part of a mezze platter, cheese borekas are best savored in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
