Total time: 
Serves: 25 boreks
 
Ingredients
  • 2-3 Cups Cooking Oil
  • 1 Package Yufka (I used the ones already cut into triangles but you can get the round ones and cut into triangles yourself)
  • 12 ounces Beyaz Peynir (White Cheese) or Feta
  • 3-4 Tablespoons Fresh Dill (You can substitute dried)
  • ½ Cup Parsley finely chopped
Instructions
  1. Mix the cheese, dill and parsley in a bowl until well combined.
  2. Take a sheet of the yufka and place about 1 to 1½ tablespoons filling slightly down from the top on the long end of the yufka.
  3. Fold the top over the filling, then fold the side edges in toward the center like an envelope. Continue to roll down to the end then seal the tip with a little water so it will adhere and not open during cooking.
  4. When you have about half of the package of yufka rolled into böreks, you can start to heat your oil.
  5. The amount of oil you use will depend on the pan that you are going to use for cooking your börek.
  6. Fill your pan ⅓ or a little more with cooking oil.
  7. Heat the oil to 325 degrees.
  8. While the oil is heating, continue rolling the börek.
  9. Once the oil is at the desired temperature, slowly place about 5-6 borek in the pan cooking a couple of minutes per side until just golden brown.
  10. Drain the börek on a paper towel lined plate.
  11. Continue cooking in batches until all the börek are cooked.
  12. Serve warm or at room temperature. Afiyet olsun!
