Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a bowl, mix feta cheese, ricotta cheese, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Lay a sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter.

Place another sheet of phyllo on top and brush again with oil or butter.

Spoon a portion of the cheese mixture along one edge of the phyllo dough.

Roll the dough over the filling to form a log, then coil it into a spiral shape.

Repeat the process with remaining phyllo and filling, placing spirals on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the tops of the burek with more olive oil or melted butter.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Serve warm with yogurt on the side.
