Feta Cheese Burek (Phyllo Dough)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet lightly.

2. Mix feta cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese, and eggs together in a bowl. Whisk milk and oil together in a small bowl.

3. Brush milk-oil mixture over 3 sheets of phyllo dough and stack together. Place some of the cheese mixture in a straight line on one end of the dough. Roll up tightly to form a spiral shape. Transfer spiral to the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining milk-oil mixture, phyllo dough, and cheese mixture.

4. Bake burek in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 40 minutes.

Cook’s Note:

Although it is good to be generous, in this case a decent amount goes a long way: feta cheese is salty so apply moderately.
