1
For the dough, knead the flour, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, and warm water until you have a smooth dough that is slightly firmer than soft pastry dough. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.

2
For the filling, crumble the white brined cheese and lor cheese with a fork, add the finely chopped parsley, and mix.
3
Divide the rested dough into 8 equal balls. Roll each ball with flour and a rolling pin into a tray-sized, very thin sheet; dust flour between them and stack.
4
Bring plenty of water to a boil in a large pot and add 1 tablespoon salt. Set a large bowl of cold water beside it. Boil the sheets one by one for 30 to 40 seconds, move them immediately into cold water, then spread them on a clean cloth. Keep the bottom and top sheets dry without boiling them.

5
Melt the butter. Grease the tray, lay down one dry sheet, drizzle with butter, then layer the boiled sheets in order and brush plenty of butter between each one. When you reach the middle, spread the filling evenly, continue with boiled sheets, and place the remaining dry sheet on top. Brush with the remaining melted butter, cut into diamond portions, and bake in a preheated 200°C oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is browned.

💡 Tip: Boil the pastry sheets one at a time, because they stick if stacked in the pot. The boiling water must be salted; salt helps preserve the dough's sheen and elasticity. The bottom and top sheets should stay dry, otherwise the borek can fall apart.

🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with strong Turkish tea, plus yogurt or a walnut green salad if desired. It fits a holiday table or any special occasion.
