Börek (also burek and other variants) is a family of baked or fried filled pastries made of a thin flaky dough known as phyllo (or yufka). It can be filled with cheese, often feta, sirene or kaşar; minced meat, or vegetables... ( ref wikipedia )
Today for brunch I made baked phyllo pastry filled with Turkish pastrami, tomatoes, pepper, and mozzarella cheese.
Ingriedients:
Store bought phyllo pastry sheets ( only few are used from 1 package)
Thin slices of Turkish pastrami (pastirma)
250gr of grated Mozzerella
1 medium size tomato (wash, remove skin and seeds, and dice)
1 green cubanelle pepper (wash, remove stems and seeds, and dice)
1 egg (separate the yolk from white)
Directions
Divide rectangular phyllo sheets into half. On the end/corner of one phyllo sheet put one slice of pastrami, 2-3 pieces of small diced tomatoes, 2-3 pieces of small diced pepper, 1 tablespoon of grated mozzarella. Fold in triangle shape, square shape, or roll. Wet the end of pastry with egg white make sure it sticks. Repeat with each sheet, make as many as you wish. (I made twenty small pieces, until my ingredients were finished.) Place each phyllo shape to a lightly greased oven pan. Brush each phyllo with egg yolk and sprinkle with nigella seeds (optional). Bake until golden. Serve warm.
Enjoy!
