Pan börek with cottage cheese and Kashar is made by layering or folding yufka around the cheeses, then cooking it in a covered, lightly oiled skillet. Cook over medium-low heat until the underside is set and browned, then flip to cook the other side.
Lor in pan börek with cottage cheese and Kashar is a mild Turkish fresh cheese with a soft, crumbly texture. It is not exactly the same as many Western-style cottage cheeses; draining it well helps keep the börek filling from making the yufka soggy.
Yes, phyllo can stand in for yufka in pan börek with cottage cheese and Kashar, though it is thinner and more delicate. Use several layers, brush them lightly with oil or butter, and handle the börek gently when turning it in the skillet.
Pan börek with cottage cheese and Kashar turns soggy when the lor is watery, the yufka is over-soaked, or steam gets trapped under a tightly fitted lid. Drain the cheese, moisten the pastry sparingly, and leave a small gap for steam to escape.
Flip pan börek with cottage cheese and Kashar only after the bottom has browned enough to hold together. Cover the skillet with a plate larger than the börek, invert the pan carefully, then slide the börek back into the skillet with its uncooked side down.
Yes, pan börek with cottage cheese and Kashar can be baked, although it will not have the same skillet-browned base. Place the assembled börek on an oiled baking tray, brush the top lightly with oil, and bake until the yufka is golden.
Pan börek with cottage cheese and Kashar pairs well with a crisp salad, sliced tomatoes, olives, or plain yogurt. These sides balance the rich, salty cheese filling without competing with the börek's flaky pastry.
Yes, you can assemble pan börek with cottage cheese and Kashar ahead of cooking. Keep it covered in the refrigerator so the yufka does not dry out, and cook it soon after assembly to avoid the cheese moisture softening the pastry.
Store leftover pan börek with cottage cheese and Kashar in a covered container in the refrigerator once it has cooled. Eat it within a few days, and reheat it in a skillet or oven to bring back some crispness.
Yes, pan börek with cottage cheese and Kashar can be frozen, preferably assembled but uncooked and wrapped tightly. Cook it after thawing; freezing cooked leftovers also works, though the yufka may lose some crispness when reheated.

Pan Börek with Cottage Cheese and Kashar is a Turkish stovetop pastry made with thin dough, filled with lor—a mild, fresh curd cheese—and grated kaşar, a Turkish cheese that melts readily. The name’s “cottage cheese” refers to the lor filling, rather than changing the kind of börek it is.
The pastry browns on the outside while the cheese softens inside. In Turkey it is often eaten warm at breakfast or with tea, and it also makes an easy snack or light meal. It provides protein, while the pastry adds carbohydrates and fat; each 100 g contains 13 g of protein. Serve it with tomatoes, cucumber or a leafy salad, or use less oil in the pan for a lighter result.

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.
