Cook The Book: Cheese Bourekas
- 1 pound, 2 ounces gvina levana (fresh white cheese) or ricotta (5% fat)
- 9 ounces kashkaval or Parmesan cheese, grated
- 9 ounces brinza or feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 pounds, 5 ounces puff pastry dough
- 1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for brushing
- Sesame seeds for garnishing
- Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F (180u0b0C).
- Beat all the ingredients for the filling until smooth.
- Roll the dough into a 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) thick sheet. Cut into 5-inch (12-cm) squares. Put one tablespoon of the filling in the center of each square, fold diagonally to form a triangle and pinch the edges together. Arrange the bourekas with sufficient space between them on a tray lined with baking paper.
- Brush the triangles with the beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
- Bake for about 30 minutes until the bourekas are golden and plump and smell delicious.
