Puff Borek
(Puf Boregi)
1 Package Puff Pastry (Tender flake 379 g)
Filling:
2 cups feta cheese, crumbled
2 egg yolks
1 cup parsley, chopped
2 tbsp dill, chopped
Salt
Pepper
On top:
1 egg white, lightly beaten
Follow the instructions on the Tenderflakes box. Each block of pastry rolls into a 12-inch (30 cm) square. Cut each piece into 4 squares, so you should have 8 pieces of dough.
Mix the filling ingredients and put them on each block of pastry, on one side diagonally. Fold the empty part over the filling (should be a triangle). Press the edges. Brush the tops with egg white. Place on a tray covered with parchment paper.
Preheat the oven to 205 C (400 F). Bake until golden brown.
Serve while still hot as an appetizer, or with Tea or Ayran over breakfast.

Beautiful and simply divine! thanks for the recipe:) but is this suppose to be a breakfast only dish?
Hi,
It is an appetizer:)
Hi. I was just wondering if you could put Puf Boregi in the freezer once they have been baked? and then when you need them defrost and reheat? can you do this?
Kendine iyi bak

Hi Louise ,
I've never done this but you should give it a try:)
Sen de kendine iyi bak:)
hi !
i want to make borek ; but i can't find the pastry's receip
How I love boreks! All kinds.Just wondering whether Turkiyede women also prepare a french dough(puff pastry)at homes?:)
I loved my chicken filled borek!
Hi,
Of course, the Turkish women make most the dough at home. The dough-making at homes in Turkey is very common and popular:)
Thank you for your prompt answer. Where I live women also make dough a lot, but not a puff one. Greets
Bearing a puff pastry in mind, maybe You happen to have some simple recipe for it? All that I perused were too difficult for me...
Hi,
If you are living in Greece you might know that each region inTurkey has its own characteristic dishes including pastries:) Probably that's why the women don't make puff pastry in your country. I am sure they do delicious other Turkish dishes and pastries:)
Hi,
The original dough has flour, salt, butter, cold water and lemon juice. So this ready-to-use puff pasrty is the closest one that I can find here. We don't use French dough in Turkey as you pointed out:)
