This is a very widespread snack in the Balkans. I've eaten this in Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia and Bosnia - Turkey has got something similar too.

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.

Ekmek Turkish Bread

Recipe by: Bonnie

Be the first to review it!

Ekmek is a light and slightly sour flatbread that tastes wonderful with cheese. It uses a starter which ferments for 4 days. I recommend using a pizza stone to bake the loaves on. If you've no pizza stone, baking trays will work also. The recipe seems complicated, but it's a lot easier than it appears.
