Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1: Preheat the oven.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the filling.
In a medium bowl, combine the feta cheese, ricotta cheese, and shredded mozzarella. Mix in the salt, black pepper, and parsley until well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the bourekas.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 12 equal squares. Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center of each square. Fold over to create a triangle, pressing the edges to seal.
Step 4: Apply the egg wash.
Brush the tops of the bourekas with the beaten egg to give them a golden, shiny finish when baked.
Step 5: Bake and serve.
Place the bourekas on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer for your dinner party.
