About Cheese bourekas

Cheese Bourekas are a popular pastry in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, particularly associated with Israeli and Turkish kitchens. These flaky, golden pastries are made by wrapping layers of phyllo or puff pastry around a savory cheese filling, typically a mix of feta, ricotta, or kashkaval, and sometimes enhanced with herbs like parsley or za'atar. While delightfully crisp and creamy, Cheese Bourekas are often high in calories, saturated fats, and refined carbohydrates due to the butter-rich pastry and cheese content. They’re best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. On the positive side, the cheese provides a source of protein and calcium, while homemade options can be adapted to include whole-grain pastry or reduced-fat cheeses for a healthier twist. Perfect as a snack or side dish, Bourekas are loved for their comforting flavor and versatility across meal settings.
