Isoanakkı börek is a Turkish baked börek made with phyllo pastry and a cheese filling. The exact folding style and seasoning can vary, so the name does not by itself establish one fixed household recipe.
To make Isoanakkı börek, layer or wrap cheese filling in phyllo sheets, brush the pastry with oil or an egg wash, and bake until golden and cooked through. Keep unused phyllo covered so it does not dry out.
A crumbly, salty white cheese works well in Isoanakkı börek. Taste it before mixing the filling; if it is very salty, combine it with unsalted lor or another mild, soft cheese.
Isoanakkı börek can be served at breakfast, as a snack, or as part of a light meal. Pair it with fresh vegetables or salad to balance the rich cheese filling, and serve it warm for the best pastry texture.
For crisp Isoanakkı börek, brush the phyllo layers lightly rather than soaking them, and avoid a watery cheese filling. Bake in a preheated oven and let the börek rest briefly before cutting so steam does not soften the crust.
Yes, store-bought phyllo works for Isoanakkı börek. Thaw frozen sheets fully before separating them, keep the stack covered with a clean towel while assembling, and brush each layer lightly so it bakes evenly.
Serve Isoanakkı börek with a crisp salad, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, or yogurt. These fresh sides complement the savory cheese filling without competing with it; soup also makes it a more substantial meal.
Keep leftover Isoanakkı börek covered in the refrigerator and eat it within a few days for the best quality. Refrigerate it once it has cooled rather than leaving the cheese-filled pastry out for an extended time.
Reheat Isoanakkı börek in an oven or toaster oven to bring back some of its crispness. A microwave is quicker but makes phyllo softer; heat the portion until the center is hot, not just the surface.
Yes, Isoanakkı börek can be frozen, either assembled before baking or after it has cooled. Freeze portions separately first, then seal them in an airtight container; thawing and baking times will vary with their size.

Isoanakkı börek is a classic Turkish savoury pastry made by layering thin sheets of yufka, or phyllo, with a cheese filling and baking until golden. The pastry turns crisp at the edges while the centre stays tender, with a savoury, sometimes slightly stretchy cheese texture. In Turkey, it is commonly served warm for breakfast or alongside tea, and also makes an easy snack or light meal; it can be baked at home or bought from a bakery.
It provides carbohydrates and fat as well as some protein, with 8.5 g per 100 g. For a lighter, more balanced plate, pair a piece with salad or fresh vegetables, and adjust the portion to suit the rest of the meal.
