Börek — türkisches Filoteig-Gebäck mit Käse
The Turkish pastry that comes in countless shapes: layers of thin yufka (filo) brushed with a butter-oil-egg-milk mixture and filled with white cheese and parsley (or spiced meat or spinach), then baked until crisp, golden and flaky. From coiled sigara böreği to the soft, almost lasagne-like su böreği, it's a beloved breakfast, meze and street snack across Turkey and the Balkans.
