Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Feta Cheese Burek with Phyllo Dough.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and give a baking sheet a light greasing to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy goodness of feta cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese, and eggs.
Step 3
Stir everything together until it’s beautifully blended and smooth.
Step 4
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the milk and vegetable oil until they’re well combined, creating a lovely mixture that will add richness to your dish.
Step 5
Now, take three sheets of phyllo dough and gently brush the milk-oil mixture over them, stacking the sheets neatly on top of each other.
Step 6
At one end of your stacked phyllo, place a generous portion of the cheese mixture in a straight line, inviting all those flavors to come together.
Step 7
Carefully roll the phyllo dough around the cheese mixture, forming a delightful spiral shape that’s both fun and satisfying.
Step 8
Once you’ve created your spirals, transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, making sure they have a little space to breathe.
Step 9
Repeat this process with the remaining phyllo dough and cheese mixture, letting your kitchen fill with the anticipation of what’s to come.
Step 10
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the burek bake for about 40 minutes, or until they turn a gorgeous golden brown and become irresistibly crispy.
Step 11
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your home as you await your delicious creation!.
