What you need

  • 500 g (1 lb) puff pastry, 2 sheets, thawed
  • 200 g (7 oz) feta, crumbled
  • 200 g (7 oz) ricotta
  • 100 g (3 1/2 oz) mozzarella, coarsely grated

Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix the feta, ricotta, mozzarella, egg and pepper in a bowl with a fork until creamy. The feta already seasons it.

  3. 3

    Dust the counter with flour and roll each puff pastry sheet lightly to even it out.

  4. 4

    Cut each sheet into 6 squares, about 10 cm (4 in) wide.

  5. 5

    Beat the egg yolk with 1 tbsp of water. Brush a thin line of the wash along the edges of each square.

  6. 6

    Spoon about 2 tbsp of filling into the center of a square, fold it over into a triangle and crimp the edges shut with a fork. Fill and seal the remaining squares the same way.

  7. 7

    Set the bourekas 3 cm (1 in) apart on the baking sheets and brush the tops with the remaining wash.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

  9. 9

    Bake until puffed and deep golden, 20-25 min.

  10. 10

    Rest for 5 min before eating, since the cheese inside is very hot.
