How do you make Pan-Fried Pastry with Strained White Cheese?
To make Pan-Fried Pastry with Strained White Cheese, layer yufka with a filling of strained white cheese, then cook it in a lightly oiled pan. Keep the heat moderate and turn the börek once the bottom is set and browned.
What cheese is used in Pan-Fried Pastry with Strained White Cheese?

How do you stop Pan-Fried Pastry with Strained White Cheese from getting soggy?
Use well-drained cheese and avoid overfilling Pan-Fried Pastry with Strained White Cheese. Cook it over moderate heat so the pastry has time to cook through, and leave the lid off near the end to let trapped steam escape.
Can you make Pan-Fried Pastry with Strained White Cheese with store-bought phyllo?
Yes, Pan-Fried Pastry with Strained White Cheese can be made with store-bought phyllo, also called yufka in Turkish recipes. Cut or fold the sheets to fit your pan, and cover unused sheets while assembling so they do not dry out.
How do you flip Pan-Fried Pastry with Strained White Cheese without breaking it?
