Saute the onion and spinach in a pan for 8 minutes.
Cool the spinach filling for 10 minutes so it does not wet and tear the yufka.
Mix the cheese, yogurt, egg, and oil in a separate bowl.
Divide the sauce and spinach filling between the yufka layers.
Slice the borek and brush the remaining sauce over the top.
Bake in a 180°C oven for 35 minutes.
💡 Tip: After sauteing the spinach, drain off its liquid so the bottom of the borek does not stay doughy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with yogurt and tea.
