Made this last night and it was ultra thin and crispy. Over night if the fridge softened it a bit, but it just didn’t work our for me bc it was flat! I followed the directions exact!

Made this last night (spinach and cheese) for me and and my wife and it was a massive success. We paired it with olive couscous and a fresh tomato salad. It is fantastic warm or cold and yes, we will be bringing this to work for lunch. Sharing recipes like this is the reason the internet exists. Thank you!

Going to do this weekend. We have no one around here that offers. When we lived in Izmir our favorite was Cheese Borek. Gonna do the triangles. Bit more of a challenge but will be worth it. Wish me luck ❤

In reply to Vitaly. You can use either. I have done both, but my Turkish friend would say use the egg batter.

I’m confused a little bit… Do I have to use egg mixture or melted butter when layering the phyllo pastry?

In reply to Wendy S. Wendy, Yufka when old can be tough, but it's hard to get fresh yufka depending on where you are. I do think letting it set might have contributed to the toughness, though, too.
