Cheese Burek with Puff Pastry
Report
Like a cheese-filled turnover or spinach-free spanakopita, a cheese burek is tasty and easy to make using frozen puff pastry.

Ingredients
- 1 6 ounce puff pastry 9 x 9 sheet
- ¾ cup feta cheese grated or crumbled
- ¾ cup provolone cheese good melting cheese, grated or other mild cheese
- 1 Tablespoon chives chopped
- 1 egg divided
- 1 teaspoon water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Roll out a puff pastry sheet to a 12 x 12 square. Cut the square into four 6 x 6 squares (a pizza cutter works well).
- Crack egg, whisk until blended, and reserve 1 teaspoon. Combine remaining egg with the two cheeses and the chives.
- Top each of the puff pastry squares with ¼ of the filling. Brush the edges of the square, fold over and seal with a fork.
- Beat the reserved teaspoon of egg with 1 teaspoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of each burek with the egg wash, place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until starting to turn golden. Serve warm.
