Bourekia

(Cypriot)

dough, cheese, cinnamon, sugar, rose water

Bourekia is a traditional Cypriot pastry that is usually made with thin and flaky phyllo dough and filled with cheese. The small, semicircular pastries come in sweet or savoury versions, and they’re typically deep-fried in oil until golden brown. The sweet version most commonly uses a combination of fresh, unsalted anari cheese, a type of soft, slightly sweet Cypriot whey cheese, cinnamon, and sugar for stuffing the phyllo dough pockets.
