What to get ready

  • Photograph of Filo pastry shell Filo pastry shell 16 leaves
  • Photograph of Feta cheese Feta cheese 240 g
  • Photograph of Parsley Parsley 32 g
  • Photograph of Chicken eggs Chicken eggs 2
  • Photograph of Oil Oil 120 ml

Method

  1. 1 Mash the feta cheese with the chopped parsley until smooth, then mix well to form a filling.
  2. 2 Cut the filo pastry shells into long triangles and cover with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
  3. 3 Place a spoonful of filling on the wide end, fold the two edges inwards, and roll it tightly into a cigarette.
  4. 4 Brush beaten egg onto the end edge to seal it, preventing the filling from leaking out during frying.
  5. 5 Deep fry over medium heat for 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
  6. 6 Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with yogurt.

With an appliance

    Replace step 5: spray the börek rolls with oil, fry at 190 degrees for 10 minutes, flip at the 5th minute; the end edge must still be sealed with egg as in step 4 to prevent the filling from leaking out.
