Cheese Borek

Name: Cheese Borek
Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 55 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Algerian
Ingredients: 1 beaten Egg; 1 bunch Parsley; 2 cloves minced Garlic; 3/4 teaspoon Red Pepper; 6 oz Gouda Cheese; 6 oz Emmentaler Cheese; 12 Phyllo Dough; 1 1/2 cups Unsalted Butter

This golden, flaky Algerian pastry is a celebration of rich, melty cheese tucked into delicate phyllo layers, each bite offering a satisfying contrast of crisp edges and tender, airy folds. The Gouda and Emmentaler lend a deep, savory depth, while a whisper of garlic and parsley brightens the richness, all balanced by a subtle heat from red pepper flakes. A final dusting of sesame seeds adds a nutty crunch that elevates every mouthful, making these triangular pockets irresistibly moreish. Simple to assemble yet impressive on the plate, cheese borek is the kind of dish that turns a casual gathering into a moment worth savoring.

Directions

1
In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, parsley, garlic and crushed red pepper. Mix in Gouda and Emmentaler.
2
One sheet at a time, place phyllo dough on a flat surface and brush with about 1 tablespoon butter. Cut lengthwise into 4 strips. Place a rounded teaspoon of the egg mixture at one end of each strip. Fold corner of strip over the filling, forming a triangular fold. Continue folding the length of the strip in triangular folds to form a small stuffed triangle. Repeat with remaining phyllo dough.
3
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly butter a large baking sheet.
4
Arrange stuffed phyllo triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Serve warm
