Easy and Quick Cheese Stuffed Puff Pastry (Boreks)
Mediterranean cheese stuffed puff pastry/ borek/ cheese turnovers is a delight. This is the easiest, quickest and most delicious side dish/ appetizer you can prepare. All you need is only 5 ingredients and one of them is optional.
Each bite is a piece of heaven. The combination of the crispy flaky crust and the soft cheese with mint is just marvelous. I prepared it with whole wheat sheets and light cheese to indulge guilt-free.
