Cheese Borek

Recipe by: KarenC

Be the first to review it!

The usual filling is feta cheese; this version calls for Gouda and Emmenthal. If you have never worked with filo pastry before, know that it is very fragile and must be kept covered or it will dry out very quickly. This is labour-intensive, but worth it. I like to divide the filling ahead of time into 48 equal little portions to ensure that all the borek are uniform in size. This may be made a day before they are baked, and stored covered in the refrigerator.

Cheese Puffs (Gougeres)

Recipe by: Carolyn Bunkley

Be the first to review it!

Light, airy gougères are a versatile addition to a meal or canape spread. Made small, they pair well with beer or wine; made larger, you can fill them with a filling of your choice. These are easier to make than the recipe sounds, yet the result looks impressive enough that you can tell your friends you slaved over them.

Cheesy Spinach Filo Triangles

Recipe by: Kathleen

Reviews(1)

The only tricky part of this recipe is working with filo pastry, but once you get used to it - it's easy. Sometimes you get a batch of filo that rips and tears, so I always buy an extra just in case. I usually freeze these before baking. Just add a few minutes to the cooking time if you are cooking them from frozen. I have also doubled this recipe for large parties.
