Börek: Savory Layered Cheese and Spinach Pastry

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a large baking dish (approx. 9x13 inches).

Prepare the filling: Wash the spinach and roughly chop it. In a large bowl, crumble the feta cheese. Add the chopped spinach, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

Make the liquid mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, and milk until smooth. Melt the butter and set aside for brushing the phyllo.

Assemble the börek: Lay two sheets of phyllo dough in the prepared baking dish, allowing the edges to hang over. Brush generously with melted butter. Repeat with another two sheets of phyllo, brushing with butter. Spread about one-third of the spinach and feta filling evenly over the phyllo. Drizzle some of the egg-yogurt mixture over the filling.

Continue layering: Place two more phyllo sheets on top, brush with butter, then another two, brushing with butter. Add another third of the filling and drizzle with the egg-yogurt mixture. Repeat this process one more time.

Final layers: For the top, layer the remaining phyllo sheets, two at a time, brushing each pair with butter. Fold the overhanging phyllo edges inward to create a neat border. Brush the entire top with the remaining egg-yogurt mixture.

Bake: Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the börek is golden brown and puffed up. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Saha w hana!
