CHEESE BORAGS (ARMENIA)
This recipe is from week 13 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Armenia is my 13th stop. Cheese borags are a simple and delicious appetizer made from a mild white cheese (such as Monterey Jack or Muenster, or an Armenian cheese if you can find one) and phyllo dough. (This recipe comes from Robyn Kalajian from The Armenian Kitchen)

Steps:
- Mix the three cheeses with the egg. Set aside.
- Cover the phyllo dough with a piece of plastic wrap, then put a damp towel over the plastic wrap. This helps prevent drying.
- Take one sheet of Phyllo and fold it in half. Brush the folded sheet with melted butter.
- Put a spoonful of the filling onto the lower right corner of the sheet.
- Now fold the sheet over the filling, from corner to corner, as if you were folding a flag. You should have a triangle. Fold again, and one more time. Trim off any excess dough.
- Repeat until you have used all the filling.
- Brush the top of each borag with melted butter, then bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the borags turn a golden brown color. Serve hot.
BOEREGS (FLAKY ARMENIAN PUFF PASTRY) AS MADE BY BLAKE BESHARIAN RECIPE BY TASTY
Boeregs are a classic part of Armenian mezze. They can be filled with a range of cheeses, meats, and sweet fillings. The fillings used here are fairly traditional and extra-delicious since they're filled with savory cheese. They make a great appetizer or light lunch.

Steps:
- Make the herbed feta filling: Heat the olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the nutmeg and cumin and stir to combine, then remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool completely.
- In a food processor, combine the spinach, parsley, rodopa cheese, egg, and the cooled onion mixture and pulse until broken down into a chunky paste. Transfer the filling to a bowl and set aside. Wipe out the food processor.
- Make the melted Kashkaval filling: Add the parsley, chives, egg, and Kashkaval cheese to the clean food processor and pulse until the mixture breaks down into a chunky paste. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line 2 baking sheets, or as many as you have, with parchment paper.
- Assemble the boeregs: Unroll the filo dough and cut crosswise into 3½-inch (9 cm) wide strips. Cover the filo dough with a damp towel while you fill the boeregs.
- Lay a strip of dough lengthwise on a cutting board. Holding the top of the dough with your left index finger, brush a thin layer of melted butter over the length of the dough. Scoop ½ tablespoon of filling at the top center of the strip, about ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) from the top. Fold the top left corner of the dough over the filling to make a triangle. Brush more melted butter on the top of the triangle, then continue folding and brushing until you reach the end of the dough strip, trimming any excess dough that doesn't fold all the way over. Transfer to a prepared baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining dough strips and filling to make about 24 boereg with each filling. Reserve any leftover dough for another use.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks with the water.
- Brush the egg wash over the boeregs, then sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
- Bake the boeregs for 10-12 minutes, until golden, flaky, and crisp. Serve warm.
- Enjoy!

ARMENIAN CHEESE BOEREG
A very old family recipe. This is how my grandmother made it. All measurements are approximate; my grandmother never measured anything. You can substitute any combination of cheeses. This recipe is for appetizer sized portions. If you want it for a side dish, don't cut the fillo in half. Practice folding boereg, using a piece of paper or a napkin.
