Directions

90 min.
1. Step

First of all, properly preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

2. Step

Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle shape. The thickness should be approximately 1 cm.

3. Step

In a large bowl, mix the feta cheese with the eggs, sour cream, yogurt, and milk until thoroughly combined.

4. Step

Spread the cheese mixture over the puff pastry, leaving the edges clean.

5. Step

Roll the pastry up tightly lengthwise, like a jelly roll. Slightly pinch the edges to seal.

6. Step

Brush the burek with a mix of egg yolk and a bit of water.

7. Step

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnishing.

8. Step

Bake it in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside. Your cheese burek should be crusty on the outside but tender and creamy on the inside.

9. Step

Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting into slices.

10. Step

Serve warm as a savory breakfast or a filling snack. Served best with a glass of cold yogurt on the side.
