Dice the peppers finely and mix them with the cheese, keeping the filling moist.
Lightly oil the phyllo sheets, spread the filling evenly, and fold them.
Arrange the boreks on a tray and brush a thin layer of beaten egg over the tops.
Bake at 190°C for 25 minutes until browned on top, then let them rest for 5 minutes.
💡 Tip: Keeping the filling from becoming too watery prevents the base of the borek from turning doughy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice the borek and serve it warm after baking, with tea alongside.
