Filling and Dough Ingredients

Method

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, and then mix in the crumbled feta cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Burek

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush again with oil. Add a portion of the filling along one edge and roll it into a log. Shape it into a spiral and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

  3. 3

    Bake the Burek

    Brush the tops of the spiraled bureks with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
