Ingredients:
1 package of phyllo dough (filo pastry)
200g feta cheese, crumbled
200g ricotta cheese
2 eggs
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup melted butter
Salt to taste
Sesame seeds for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, ricotta cheese, eggs, and yogurt.
Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined. Add salt to taste.
Assemble the Burek:
Unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying.
Take one sheet of phyllo dough and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush it with butter as well. Repeat until you have 5-6 sheets stacked.
Add the Filling:
Spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture evenly over the stacked phyllo sheets.
Rolling:
Carefully roll the phyllo dough with the filling into a log or cylinder shape.
Shape into a Spiral:
Transfer the rolled burek into a greased baking dish, shaping it into a spiral or coil. Tuck the end underneath.
Brush with Butter:
Brush the top of the burek with more melted butter, ensuring a golden and crispy crust.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the burek is golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
Allow the burek to cool for a few minutes before slicing. You can sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.
Enjoy your delicious burek with cheese! It's a fantastic dish that can be served as a snack, appetizer, or even a main course.
