Mash the curd cheese with the egg until evenly combined, then season to taste. If you are using the egg and curd cheese filling in pastry, drain excess moisture from the cheese first so the mixture does not turn runny.
Yes, egg and curd cheese filling works well in savory pastries such as hand pies or filo parcels. Keep the layer fairly thin and seal the edges securely so the filling stays inside as the pastry bakes.
Yes, egg and curd cheese filling should be cooked because it contains raw egg. Cook it thoroughly in a pan, or bake it inside the pastry until the filling is set and no longer looks wet.
Drain the curd cheese well and add the egg gradually to keep egg and curd cheese filling from becoming watery. If it is already loose, mix in a little more curd cheese rather than adding flour, which can make the filling heavy.
Black pepper, chopped parsley, dill, and a little paprika all suit egg and curd cheese filling. Taste the mixture before adding salt, since some curd cheeses are already salty.
Yes, you can mix egg and curd cheese filling ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Because it contains raw egg, do not leave it at room temperature; for the best texture, use it the same day.
Freezing egg and curd cheese filling is not ideal. The egg and curd cheese may separate and release water when thawed, making the filling grainy or loose; prepare a fresh batch when possible.
Yes, egg and curd cheese filling can be used in ravioli or other stuffed pasta. Use a thick, well-drained mixture and seal the pasta firmly so the filling does not leak into the cooking water.
Yes, cottage cheese can replace the curd cheese, but drain it well first. Its curds may be larger and wetter, so mash them before mixing with the egg for a more even filling.
Cook leftover egg and curd cheese filling thoroughly in a lightly oiled pan, or bake it in a small dish until set. Refrigerate it promptly in a covered container and reheat it until steaming before serving.

Egg and curd cheese filling is a Turkish-style savoury mixture of beaten egg and lor, a mild, fresh curd cheese. It may be seasoned with herbs such as parsley or dill, then used to fill börek, gözleme or other pastries; it can also be cooked in a pan and served at breakfast. The texture is soft and slightly crumbly, with a gentle, savoury flavour rather than the sharpness of aged cheese.
It is a protein-rich filling with little carbohydrate, so it works well in a lower-carb meal as well as in traditional baking. For a lighter version, use a modest amount of oil and add fresh herbs or greens. It pairs nicely with tomatoes, cucumber or a simple salad.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
