Cheese Potato Borekas Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In the microwave, melt cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl. Stir in mayonnaise, potatoes and onions. Spread in a 9x13 inch baking dish and top with bacon bits.
• Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, or until hot and bubbly.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Beat 1 egg in a medium bowl, and mix in the cheese. Season with parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
• On a lightly floured surface, cut each sheet of puff pastry into 6 equal squares to give 12 squares in total. Beat the remaining egg with water in small bowl. Brush edges of each square lightly with egg wash. Place a heaping tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center of each square. Fold pastry over the filling, and seal edges with a fork. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, brush with remaining egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Beat the flour and margarine together, using a hand-held or upright mixer.
• Add the water, oil and salt and continue beating until well combined.
• By hand, blend in any flour still remaining at the bottom of the mixing bowl.
• Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
• Combine the filling ingredients, using a hand-held or upright mixer.
• Take the dough out of the refrigerator.
• Separate into 24 equal portions.
• Pat each portion of the dough into a circle approximately 4 inches in diameter and dust with flour.
• Place a scant tablespoon of filling on on side of each circle.
• Fold the unfilled portion over the filling.
• Transfer borekas onto a non-stick baking sheet.
• Crimp the edges with a fork.
• Using a pastry brush,"paint" the top of each boreka with egg wash.
• Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Place eggs in a pot and add oil, salt, pepper, onion peels and coffee grounds, if using, in water to cover. Bring to a boil on high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar. (The eggs will be ready in one hour but most cooks leave them on very low heat overnight.).
• Fry the onion in the oil until lightly golden. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste, add the onions and cheese if you're using it, and mix well. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll the puff pastry quite thinly, about 1/4" or less, and cut into 6 equal squares.
• Divide the filling into 6 parts. Place one portion in the middle of a square and fold into a triangle. Press hard on the sides to seal well and brush with the egg yolk. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Sprinkle the borekas with sesame seeds.
• Bake on the middle shelf of the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Check the bottoms to see if they are done they should be brown. Serve warm or at room temperature with haminados eggs.
• NOTES: These cannot be refrigerated, but can be frozen, preferably before baking.
