Steps

45 min

1

Take 2 egg yolks only in a bowl.beat them.add milk & whisk.add melted butter & whisk well
2

I have taken feta cheese or white cheese.make crumbs of which will help in well mixing in better.add feta cheese in eggs batter.add chop coriander & very fine chop green chilli.traditionaly chillies are not added in borek yet I hv added for our flavours.
3

Whisk very well so that there should be no crumbs of cheese left.add a pinch of salt.as feta cheese is already salted so plx take care while adding salt.
4

I have taken 2 phyllo sheets. Make pieces of 1 sheet & add in batter. Let them get soaked in batter.
5

Grease a baking tray with melted butter.pour batter in tray. Take other phyllo sheet & cut in 2-3 portions. Spread these portions over batter roughly.no need to press them or straight them. The rough curls of phyllo will add to beauty of borek.
6

For basting,mix 1 egg yolk with 1 tbsp melted butter well. Baste this eggwash over phyllo sheet gently. Sprinkle sesame seeds.
7

Place the tray in preheated oven at 180°c for 25-30 min.check in between.you can check the golden crisps from sides or bottom.give top heat for 2-3 min only to give colour from top.hot crispy from top soft from inside borek is ready to serve

Enjoy this beautiful turkish delight at Iftar & praise to AllahSWT.
