Leek and Feta Cheese Borek
(Pirasa ve Beyaz Peynirli Borek)

1/2 cup yogurt
3/4 cup sunflower oil
3 eggs
3 sticks of leek, ends cut off, washed and finely sliced
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 cups flour, sifted
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Whisk the yogurt, eggs and sunflower oil in a deep plastic bowl. Toss in leek and feta cheese. Add the flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper and salt. Knead using your hands. Pour into an oven-safe pyrex dish. Bake until the top gets nice golden colour - it should take about 30-35 minutes. Cut in square pieces with a knife. Serve warm or at room temperature with tea or Ayran for breakfast or a snack.
Makes 8-10 servings.

Cok lezzetli bir borek tarifi bu. Tesekkurler. Esim ve ben bayildik buna!
This recipe gets an A from me! :-) Thank you for sharing.
Great recipe! I didn't have any leeks on hand, so I substituted chopped spinach with a little cooked scallion and garlic to give back some of the onion flavor the leeks would have given. I also used olive oil in place of the sunflower oil since I didn't have that either. It was quick to make, and very tasty! Thanks. :)
Hi Ferda,
Begenmenize cok memnun oldum, I love it too:)
Hi Anya,
I loved your recipe too:) What a great combination which shows you're a very good cook! I will definitly try this...thanks:)
Thank you so much for the recipe and the website.
I made dibble that was delicious, and the leek and feta borek.
Question about the barek, mine seemed solid, should it have been flaky? Also I froze some of the barek will it be okay?
I'm single, love to eat, and cook for myself once or twice a week. Turkish cuisine seems to lend itself well to my lifestyle- its healthy and I can make these dishes in advance without sacrificing flavor.
I can't tell how glad I was to find your site.
Thank you, Jeanna DeSisto
