Sweet Cheese Bourekas
Description
This recipe creates Sweet Cheese Bourekas by combining farmer's cheese with sugar and egg, creating a creamy filling. The puff pastry is rolled out and cut into squares, each filled with the cheese mixture, then folded into triangles. An egg wash brushed on top and a sprinkle of sugar promote a shiny, slightly crisp crust once baked at a relatively high temperature until golden brown.
The finished bourekas have a contrast of textures: the outer puff pastry is flaky and crisp, while the filling remains soft and sweetened. These pastries are enjoyable at various times of day, whether as a breakfast item or alongside tea or coffee as a snack or light dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 heet puff pastry dough
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 egg
- 1 cup farmer's cheese
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the farmer's cheese with the sugar and one egg.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten out the puff pastry dough. Divide the dough into equal-sized pieces (about 3 by 3 inch in size). Place a dollop of the sweet cheese on one half of a puff pastry square. Fold over the other side to form a triangle. Repeat until all the puff pastry squares are stuffed and folded.
- In a small bowl, whisk the last egg and use it to brush the tops of the bourekas. Sprinkle on some sugar.
- Bake them at 415°F for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!
