Just Say Cheese Pie!
Who can resist cheese or pie? And when you combine the two, well, talk about being in hog heaven!
The Croatian / Serbian community doesn't have the market on cheese pie, known as "burek." The Armenians call it "boreg" and Yugoslavians, Bosnians, Bulgarians, Greeks and the Middle East have their versions, too.
This particular recipe has definitely been Americanized with the substitution of Jack and cottage cheeses in place of feta, but that flaky filo dough is still there. It's a wonderful combination that makes a great meatless meal or appetizer. And you can freeze them unbaked and pop them in the oven frozen whenever you want hot hors d'oeuvres. Follow these easy steps.
If you're a traditionalist, try this burek recipe.
