🇹🇷 Classic CHEESE BOREK from scratch [homemade phyllo pastry] 🇹🇷

How to cook simple Cheese borek from scratch.
Making classic Turkish börek at home is easy! There are many versions, but this is the one I make most often. Simple to make, and absolutely delicious.
To a Turk, there are few dishes as reminiscent of home as börek. While its exact origins is unclear, the dish is popular throughout the former Ottoman empire and by many considered quintessentially Turkish.
Börek is easy to make at home, and many Turks often do. It’s also a popular snack on the go, as cafes specialising in börek are never far away, wherever in the country you may find yourself.
What is börek?
Börek is a delicious layered pastry made from filo pastry and a filling. Because the pastry is usually bought ready made, it’s an easy and quick meal to put together at home.
Börek comes in endless shapes and sizes, from the rustic tray versions (similar to lasagna) to more elaborate coils or even cigar shaped börek. The latter looks similar to spring rolls (indeed, Asian restaurants in Turkey often translate spring rolls as “Chinese börek”), though their flavour is completely different.
