What is Cheese Gozleme?
Cheese Gozleme is a Turkish flatbread made by filling thinly rolled dough with cheese, folding it over and cooking it on a hot griddle or pan. The surface turns golden and lightly blistered while the filling softens; the exact cheese and seasoning can vary from cook to cook.
In Turkey, it is often served hot for breakfast or as a quick meal, commonly alongside tea and fresh vegetables. It has the satisfying, filling character of a dough-and-cheese dish, with carbohydrates making up much of its energy. For a lighter meal, pair a portion with a crisp salad and choose a modest amount of oil when cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cheese Gozleme
What is cheese gozleme made of?
Cheese gozleme is made from thinly rolled dough folded around a cheese filling and cooked on a griddle or pan. The filling often includes Turkish white cheese or çökelek, and may contain herbs.
How do you make cheese gozleme at home?
To make cheese gozleme, roll dough into thin rounds, add cheese filling to one side, fold it over, and seal the edges. Cook on a hot dry griddle or skillet, turning until browned.
What cheese is best for cheese gozleme?
Turkish white cheese or çökelek gives cheese gozleme a familiar savory filling; grated kaşar is a good choice if you want a stretchy melt. Drain moist cheese first so the dough stays intact.
Is cheese gozleme the same as a quesadilla?
No, cheese gozleme is a Turkish stuffed flatbread, while a quesadilla is traditionally made with a tortilla folded or layered around cheese. Their pan-cooked shape is similar, but the dough and food traditions differ.
How do you reheat cheese gozleme without making it soggy?
Reheat cheese gozleme in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, turning it until warm and lightly crisp on both sides. A microwave warms it quickly but usually softens the bread.
Can you freeze cheese gozleme?
Yes, cheese gozleme can be frozen after it has cooled completely. Separate pieces with baking paper, seal them in a freezer-safe container, and reheat in a skillet for a crisper surface.
What do you serve with cheese gozleme?
Cheese gozleme is commonly served hot with tea, ayran, or a fresh salad. Tomatoes, cucumber, and olives make easy accompaniments, while a yogurt-based dip suits it as a light meal.
Where does cheese gozleme come from?
Cheese gozleme comes from Turkish cuisine and is a type of gözleme, a filled flatbread cooked on a griddle. It is associated with home cooking and market stalls, with regional dough and filling variations.
Can cheese gozleme be made with puff pastry?
Yes, puff pastry can be used for a shortcut version of cheese gozleme, but the result is flakier and richer than the traditional thin dough. Seal the edges firmly so the cheese stays inside.
Is cheese gozleme a healthy meal?
Cheese gozleme can fit into a balanced meal, especially when served with vegetables or salad. Its white flour and cheese filling make it more substantial than a plain flatbread, so portion size and accompaniments matter.
