Binnur's Borek

This is a typically turkish phyllo cheese burek that I love and is easy to make...


7 sheets phyllo dough
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup milk
2 eggas
1 pinch salt
2 liter pyrex casserole or other casserols dish. I use a 9x13 baking dish.


FILLING

1 pack 300 grams frozen chopped spinach, squeeze with hands to remove all extra water
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 onion chopped
1tbsp olive oil salt
black pepper


For the filling

put salt and perrer and onion ina pan and cook 2 min.. add spinach and continue cooking 2 more min.. put aside and add feta cheese.. stir to mix...

in a bowl, mix eggs, olive oil, amd milk with a whisk. this liquid will go between each 2 layers of phyllo sheets... the filling will go in the middle only...

Grease the casserole dish.. place 2 sheets of phyllo dough in the bottom and over the sides of the dish.. spread 3 tbsp of the liquid on top...take another 2 sheets of the phyllo.. fold in half and stack in the dish... spread the spinach filling on top of the stacked phyllo... continue layering this way until all phyllo is used...
then fold the sides of the bottom layer over.. pour remaining liquid on top...

refrigerate 2-3 hours to make it more crispy ..
bake in a preheated 350 degree F over until golden brown 25-30 minutes. bon appetit
