About Cheese burek
Cheese Burek is a savory pastry originating from Balkan cuisine, especially popular in countries like Bosnia, Serbia, and Croatia. This dish features delicate layers of thin phyllo dough filled with a mixture of tangy soft cheeses, such as feta or cottage cheese, which are sometimes combined with eggs for extra richness. The dough is rolled or folded into spirals or parcels and baked until golden and flaky. While Cheese Burek is known for its indulgent flavor and satisfying texture, it is relatively high in calories and saturated fats due to the use of butter or oil in the dough and the cheese filling. However, it provides a good source of protein and calcium from the cheese, making it moderately nutritious when enjoyed in smaller portions. As a classic comfort food, Cheese Burek is a delightful treat best balanced within a varied and mindful diet.
