What is Ezine cheese börek?
Ezine cheese börek layers thin pastry around cheese from the Ezine area of Çanakkale in north-western Turkey. It is commonly baked until the pastry is golden, with crisp edges and a soft, savoury centre. The cheese brings a pleasantly salty, tangy flavour that stands out without needing much seasoning.
In Turkey, it is often eaten warm for breakfast, with tea, or as a filling snack; it also works well as part of a spread with fresh vegetables. The cheese contributes protein, while the pastry makes this a substantial, energy-dense choice. For a lighter plate, serve a smaller piece with salad or sliced tomatoes and cucumber.
