Minced meat & cheese gozleme is a Turkish flatbread made by filling thinly rolled dough with seasoned minced meat and cheese, then folding it over and cooking it on a hot griddle. The surface develops golden, blistered patches, while the cheese melts into the savoury meat filling.
In Turkey, it is often eaten hot for breakfast or as a filling snack, commonly with tea or ayran; a salad makes a good accompaniment for a simple meal. The dough provides most of the carbohydrates, while the meat and cheese make it a more substantial, protein-containing choice. For a lighter plate, pair a piece with fresh vegetables or salad.

Minced meat & cheese gozleme is a Turkish flatbread folded around a savoury filling of cooked minced meat and melting cheese. The thin dough is cooked on a hot griddle until browned in spots, then served warm, often cut into portions.
To make minced meat & cheese gozleme, roll dough thin, add cooked and cooled minced meat with grated cheese, then fold and seal it. Cook both sides in a hot dry pan until golden and the cheese inside has melted.
Minced meat & cheese gozleme is commonly made with kaşar, a Turkish cheese that melts well. If you cannot find it, use a mild melting cheese such as mozzarella or young cheddar; the flavour and texture will be a little different.
Minced meat & cheese gozleme is not necessarily spicy. The filling is often seasoned with black pepper and may include paprika or chilli, depending on the cook. When ordering, ask whether chilli has been added if you prefer a mild filling.
Yes, minced meat & cheese gozleme can be made with store-bought flatbread or thin pastry when you do not have time to make dough. Choose a pliable, fairly thin option so it folds around the filling and cooks through without becoming too doughy.
Yes, cooked minced meat & cheese gozleme freezes well. Cool it fully, separate portions with baking paper, and seal them in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating in a pan so the filling heats evenly.
Reheat minced meat & cheese gozleme in a dry skillet over low to medium heat, turning it once so both sides crisp up. A microwave is quicker but tends to soften the flatbread; make sure the minced-meat filling is hot throughout.
Serve minced meat & cheese gozleme with a crisp salad, sliced tomatoes, or plain yogurt to balance its rich filling. In Turkey it is also often enjoyed with ayran, a savoury yogurt drink, or a glass of tea.
Leftover minced meat & cheese gozleme keeps for three to four days in the refrigerator when cooled promptly and stored in a covered container. Do not leave it out for an extended time, since its cooked minced-meat filling needs refrigeration.
Yes, minced meat & cheese gozleme is a variation of gozleme, a traditional Turkish flatbread cooked on a griddle. Gozleme has many regional and household fillings; adding both minced meat and cheese makes this version especially hearty.
