Making börek without yeast or an oven is possible! Here’s a recipe for making Turkish börek on the stovetop:
Ingredients:
10-12 sheets of phyllo dough (yufka)
250g feta cheese, crumbled
2 eggs
1/2 cup yogurt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup milk
Salt to taste
Butter or oil for frying
Instructions:
Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, mix together crumbled feta cheese, eggs, yogurt, olive oil, and salt until well combined.
Assemble the Börek:
Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface.
Brush the surface lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
Place a spoonful of the filling along the edge of the phyllo sheet.
Fold the sides of the phyllo sheet over the filling and roll it up tightly like a cigar.
Repeat this process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
Cooking on the Stovetop:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or oil.
Place the rolled börek in the skillet seam side down.
Cook for a few minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip it over using a spatula.
Continue cooking until both sides are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
Repeat the process with the remaining börek rolls, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve:
Once cooked, remove the börek from the skillet and place them on a serving platter.
You can serve börek hot or at room temperature, optionally with yogurt or a side salad.
