Börek

Börek is a type of baked or fried filled pastry, popular in Turkish cuisine and in the former Ottoman Empire. They are made of a thin flaky dough known as phyllo dough, and are filled with salty cheese (often feta), minced meat, potatoes or other vegetables. Börek may be prepared in a large pan and cut into portions after baking, or as individual pastries. The top of the Börek is often sprinkled with sesame seeds.
