Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, blend the feta and mozzarella cheese with the beaten eggs. Add the chopped herbs, season with pepper and nutmeg and stir well to mix.
- Cut the sheets of pastry into four rectangular strips approximately 3 inches wide. Cover all but one or two strips with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
- Brush on strip of pastry at a time with a little melted butter. Place 1 teaspoon filling at the bottom edge. Fold one corner over the filling to make a triangle shape. Continue folding the pastry over itself until you get to the end of the strip. Keep making triangles until all the mixture is used up.
- Place the boreks on a greased baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
BOREKS (TURKISH PASTRIES)
This is a recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks, called "The Classic Mediterranean Cookbook" by Sarah Woodward. They're savory stuffed pastries (filled with crumbled feta cheese and savory herbs) that are baked to golden perfection and usually served as an appetizer.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Crumble the feta cheese, then mix feta with the chives (or dill), parsley, and pepper.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Skim off any foam that accumulates.
- Cut the phyllo pastry sheets into 3-inch strips. Take one strip and cover the rest with a clean, damp cloth.
- Brush the first phyllo strip with melted butter, and place a teaspoon of feta/herb mixture on the bottom right corner of the phyllo sheet, about 1/4-inch from the edge.
- Pick up the bottom right corner of the phyllo sheet and fold it up and over the feta/herb mixture so the corner reaches the top edge of the phyllo sheet and forms a triangle. Keep folding the pastry over itself, being careful that the filling remains intact, until you reach the end of the phyllo sheet and have a triangle shaped pastry.
- Repeat steps #5 and #6, using remaining phyllo sheets and feta/herb mixture.
- Lay pastries on a baking sheet, and brush with remaining melted butter. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

15 BEST TURKISH APPETIZERS (+ EASY RECIPES) - INSANELY GOOD

- Turkish Eggplant Salad Recipe. I know many people are split on eggplant, and I think it has a lot to do with the texture. Like mushrooms, they can be rubbery when cooked wrong.
- Turkish Fava Bean Puree. Fava beans have a wonderfully unique flavor profile, with hints of nuts, sweetness, and even cheese. This appetizer is super popular in Turkey, and it can be made to set up firm or as a dip.
- Greek Yogurt Turkish Flatbread (Bazlama) If you’ve wanted to try homemade flatbread but don’t have a mixer, this recipe is for you! This soft and tender flatbread recipe can be made in one bowl with minimal kneading and just 15 minutes of rest time.
- Turkish Beans. These are not the sweet BBQ beans you might be used to. Instead, they contain tomatoes, onions, garlic, and carrots. The Mediterranean seasoning makes these a great little side to any meal.
- Best Fried Eggplant Recipe with Tomatoes. Between the juicy roasted tomatoes and crisp garlic chips, I could eat this dish as a main meal any day. The key to getting the perfect texture on your eggplant is to salt your slices and let them ‘sweat’ for about 45 minutes.
- Turkish Bread (Pide) I fell in love with these pizza-like bread boats many years ago. They’re a cross between stuffed bread and a savory pie, and I wish I made them more often.
- 20-Minute Turkish Vegetarian Meatballs. There’s no reason vegans have to miss out on a plate full of ‘meaty’ meatballs and spicy marinara. I love finding vegan alternatives, and this one is terrific.
- Roasted Red Pepper Dip (Muhammara Recipe) Slightly sweet, slightly smoky, and just as spicy as you like, this dip is on another level to boring old hummus.
- Turkish Spicy Ezme Salad. This recipe is almost like a Turkish chimichurri. It uses tomatoes, onion, garlic, and parsley and will enhance anything from kebabs to burgers to chicken.
- Turkish Tomato Cucumber Salad. My favorite thing about this recipe has to be the color. It’s lively and beautiful and will brighten up any table. And then there’s the taste!

- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan. Add the chopped onion and cook until fragrant, 3-5 minutes. Add the spinach, salt and pepper. Close it with a lid. Cook it, in medium heat, until the spinach loses most of its volume, around 5 minutes. Give it a stir and turn the heat off. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
- When it cools down, using a mesh strainer, strain it from all of its juices. Place it in a bowl, add the feta cheese and stir it gently until combined.
