Chef tips
To keep the burekas crispy and avoid a soggy bottom, make sure to drain any excess liquid from the cheeses. Kids will love helping you brush the dough with egg wash and sprinkle on the sesame seeds! For a twist, add roasted sweet potato cubes or fresh spinach to the filling. Serve this warm pastry with fresh grated tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and pickles for a complete family meal.
