phyllo pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: homemade dough

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta

Cottage cheese is lower in fat and calories.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare a baking dish by greasing it with butter or olive oil.

In a bowl, combine feta cheese, ricotta cheese, egg, yogurt, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley until smooth.

In a separate bowl, melt butter and mix with a little olive oil.

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the baking dish and brush with the butter mixture.

Repeat layering phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter, until you have about 5 sheets.

Spread a portion of the cheese mixture evenly over the phyllo layers.

Continue layering phyllo sheets and brushing with butter, then add another layer of cheese mixture.

Finish with a final layer of phyllo sheets, brushing the top with butter.

Cut the burek into squares or diamonds before baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
