BOREK WITH CHEESE & SPINACH
I serve these full size for breakfast, and in a smaller size as an appetizer or snack. You can find frozen 5x5 puff pastry sheets in an Armenian, middle eastern or Greek market.

- Put cheeses, onion, eggs, cumin, nutmeg, and pepper in the food processor. Pulse till well mixed.
- Add spinach and pulse a few times.

- 2 1/2x5 inch strips.
- Fill each square with approximately 2 tbsp filling in the middle. Fold pastry over to create a triangle. Pinch sides very well with your fingers, so that filling won't escape. For the smaller strips, use 1-2 tsp filling on bottom half of strip and fold strip over to make a square. Seal well.
- Brush each one with milk and sprinkle sesame.
- seeds over.
- Bake approximately 20 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet, or until browned & puffed up.

SPINACH AND FETA BOREK
In Turkey, savory pastries like these are made with hand-rolled yufka sheets, but store-bought phyllo dough makes a fine substitute. Often shaped into bite-size parcels, this large version may be cut into wedges. Serve it with a salad of sliced cucumber and radishes, and a bowl of olives, if desired.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine spinach, parsley, dill, scallions, oregano and eggs and stir to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper, then add Maras pepper, feta and Manchego, and stir well.
- Brush a 10-inch pie plate or skillet with lightly with olive oil. (You can also use a 9-by-13-inch pan for a rectangular pie.) Line with 1 sheet of phyllo, letting the excess fall over the sides of the pan. Brush phyllo lightly with olive oil, then follow with 2 more sheets, brushing each with oil.
- Pour the filling into the phyllo-lined pan, spreading it to the edges with the back of a spoon. Top with 3 more sheets of phyllo, brushing each sheet with olive oil before adding the next.
- Fold the ends of the phyllo back over the top and toward the center of the borek, and brush with oil. With the palm of your hand, press down on top layer to make the pie compact. (Alternatively, roll the excess toward the center to form a rim.)
- Bake for 30 minutes, until golden. Let rest for a few minutes before cutting into wedges. The borek is also good served at room temperature.

- Heat a lug of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic, chopped onion and spinach until soft, for about 5 minutes. In a medium-sized bowl, combine it with crumbled feta cheese. Add a bit of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together milk, eggs and olive oil. Season with a bit of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C or 360 °F. Grease a backing dish (I used 30x20 cm or 12x8 inch rectangular dish) with a bit of olive oil. Lay a phyllo dough sheet in the middle of the baking dish, folding the ends inside and creating waves of dough. Smear with a bit of milk mixture.
