Ingredients
500g Spinach
300g Feta Cheese, crumbled
123g Ricotta Cheese
10g Spring Onions, chopped
A Hand Full of Asda Dill
1 Pack of Phyllo Pastry Dough
125ml Milk, room temperature
1 Large Egg
4 tbsp Butter, melted
Black Sesame Seeds, as required
Method
1
Wash and chop the spinach finely. Place the spinach in a salad spinner and spin to drain out all the water. (Or air dry before cutting).
2
Add the chopped spinach to a large bowl.
3
Finely chop the spring onions and dill. Transfer to the bowl.
4
Crumble in the feta cheese.
5
Add salt & pepper and mix to combine everything.
6
In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, melted butter, and olive oil together. Set aside.
7
Unwrap your phyllo pastry and lay a single sheet on a flat surface.
8
Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the prepared liquid (don’t drench it in liquid, just make it a little soft and sticky).
9
Place another sheet of phyllo dough on top and repeat with the liquid mixture. (Keep the rest of the phyllo sheets covered otherwise they will become dry).
10
Spoon the filling across the long edge in a straight line.
11
Carefully lift the edge of the phyllo pastry closest to you and seal the filling with pastry. Continue to roll in a log shape.
12
Take one end of the pastry and start twisting it into a circle like a spiral.
13
Place the spiral on a baking sheet and brush it with the liquid mixture.
14
Repeat for the rest of the filling and phyllo dough.
15
Once your boreks are ready, bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius until golden brown.
