Cheese Borek

A side dish from the Algerian kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 1 beaten Egg
  • 1 bunch Parsley
  • 2 cloves minced Garlic
  • 3/4 teaspoon Red Pepper
  • 6 oz Gouda Cheese
  • 6 oz Emmentaler Cheese
  • 12 Phyllo Dough
  • 1 1/2 cups Unsalted Butter

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, parsley, garlic and crushed red pepper. Mix in Gouda and Emmentaler.
  2. One sheet at a time, place phyllo dough on a flat surface and brush with about 1 tablespoon butter. Cut lengthwise into 4 strips. Place a rounded teaspoon of the egg mixture at one end of each strip. Fold corner of strip over the filling, forming a triangular fold. Continue folding the length of the strip in triangular folds to form a small stuffed triangle. Repeat with remaining phyllo dough.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly butter a large baking sheet.
  4. Arrange stuffed phyllo triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Serve warm
