Cheese and lettuce gözleme is a thin Turkish flatbread folded around kaşar cheese and lettuce, then cooked on a griddle. When freshly made from its basic dough and filling, it is minimally processed; the cheese melts as the lettuce softens.
To make cheese and lettuce gözleme, roll a thin piece of dough, add grated kaşar and dry, finely sliced lettuce, fold it closed, and cook both sides on a hot griddle. Use moderate heat so the dough cooks before the filling leaks out.
Lettuce goes into cheese and lettuce gözleme raw, then wilts as the folded flatbread cooks. Dry the leaves well after washing and slice them thinly; wet or chunky leaves can make the filling soggy and harder to seal.
Yes, mozzarella can replace kaşar in cheese and lettuce gözleme, though it gives a milder, stretchier filling. Use low-moisture mozzarella if possible, since fresh mozzarella releases more water and can soften the dough.
Cheese and lettuce gözleme can turn soggy when the lettuce is wet, the filling is too generous, or the cheese releases moisture. Dry the leaves thoroughly, avoid overfilling, and cook the gözleme on a preheated griddle rather than stacking it while hot.
Yes, you can make cheese and lettuce gözleme with store-bought yufka or another thin flatbread dough. Keep the sheets covered while assembling so they do not dry out, and seal the edges well to keep the cheese inside as it melts.
Yes, cooked cheese and lettuce gözleme freezes well. Let each piece cool completely, separate pieces with baking paper, and pack them airtight; reheat from thawed in a skillet to bring back a firmer, less chewy surface.
Cheese and lettuce gözleme pairs well with plain yogurt, a crisp salad, or soup. For a Turkish-style breakfast, serve it with tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and tea; the fresh sides balance the salty melted cheese.
Reheat leftover cheese and lettuce gözleme in a dry skillet over low to medium heat, turning it once until the center is hot. A skillet keeps the outside more pleasant than a microwave, which can make the flatbread chewy.
Cheese and lettuce gözleme keeps for about three to four days in the refrigerator when cooled promptly and stored covered. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, and discard it if it has been left at room temperature for an extended period.

Cheese and lettuce gözleme is a Turkish flatbread made from thinly rolled dough, filled with kaşar, a mild Turkish semi-hard cheese, and lettuce, then cooked on a hot griddle. Gözleme is a familiar home-style and market food across Turkey, with fillings that vary by region and season.
The bread turns lightly crisp outside while the cheese softens inside; lettuce adds a fresh note. In Turkey it is commonly eaten for breakfast, as a filling snack, or with tea, and it also makes an easy casual meal for English-speaking readers elsewhere. Serve it with ayran, plain yoghurt or a crisp salad. It is mainly a carbohydrate-rich bread dish, with protein and fat from the cheese; a generous side of vegetables makes the plate feel lighter.
