Spinach Feta Borek Recipe

Preparation and Baking

1. 1

   Prepare the Filling

   In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and garlic, sauté until softened.

2. 2

   Add Spinach

   Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. 3

   Mix with Feta

   Once the spinach mixture is cool, crumble the feta cheese into the skillet and mix well. Set aside.

4. 4

   Prepare Filo Pastry

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lay out one sheet of filo pastry on a clean surface, brush lightly with olive oil, and layer another sheet on top. Repeat for 4-5 sheets.

5. 5

   Fill and Roll

   Place a generous amount of the spinach and feta filling along one edge of the layered filo. Roll up tightly into a log shape and place seam-side down on a baking sheet.

6. 6

   Bake

   Brush the top of the borek with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

   Serve

   Once baked, allow to cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.
