Cheese Boerek
Ingredients
- 1/4 lb Muenster cheese, shredded fine ⓘ
- 1/4 lb good Feta cheese (soaked and rinsed to remove some of the salt)
- 2 eggs ⓘ
- 1 clove garlic, minced fine ⓘ
- 1 shallot, grated (very fine) ⓘ
- 1/2 bunch (2 T) fresh parsly, minced ⓘ
- Salt and pepper to taste (remember the Feta!) ⓘ
- 1 lb Filo dough, thawed
- 1 lb of melted butter (lightly salted) ⓘ
Instructions
- Filling:
- Mash the Feta cheese with the eggs, then mix in all the other ingredients.
- To make Boerek:
- Cut the Filo dough stack into thirds, lengthwise. Keep the stacks covered with a damp
- linen towel while working with the individual strips or it will dry out and become
- unworkable.
- For a single strip, lay it on a smooth surface and brush it with butter (use a soft brush
- as the dough is very delicate.) Put 1 tsp. of filling at the lower left corner. Fold the
- lower right corner up and over the filling, to meet the left side of the long strip and
- make a triangle. Proceed to fold it like one would fold a flag, first fold it up
- straight, then diagonally, making a secure triangular packet. Brush each completely with
- butter and place on a baking sheet with the last fold on the bottom.
- Bake at 300° until golden. Approximately 7 doz. appetizers.
