Sigara börek with kaşar and white cheese is filled with kaşar, a Turkish melting cheese, and crumbled white cheese, wrapped in thin pastry. The kaşar makes the filling gooey, while the white cheese adds a salty, tangy taste; herbs such as parsley are an optional addition.
Yes, you can roll sigara börek with kaşar and white cheese ahead of time and refrigerate it covered until you are ready to cook. Keep the rolls from drying out, and fry or bake them just before serving for the best crisp texture.
Yes, sigara börek with kaşar and white cheese can be baked instead of fried. Brush or spray the rolls lightly with oil and bake until golden, turning them if needed. The pastry will be less rich, though usually not quite as crisp as the fried version.
Sigara börek with kaşar and white cheese can burst when the rolls are overfilled, loosely sealed, or fried with a seam that comes undone. Use a modest amount of filling, seal the tip with water, and place each roll seam-side down in the pan.
Yes, freeze sigara börek with kaşar and white cheese before cooking so the pastry stays in better shape. Freeze the rolls separately on a tray first, then store them in a sealed container. Cook from frozen, taking care because ice on the pastry can make hot oil splatter.
Reheat sigara börek with kaşar and white cheese in an oven or air fryer to bring back some crispness. Arrange the pieces in a single layer and heat until warmed through. A microwave is quicker, but it tends to make the pastry soft rather than crisp.
Serve sigara börek with kaşar and white cheese with a fresh salad, yogurt dip, or a glass of ayran. In Turkey, it also works well as a hot tea-time snack; its savory cheese filling pairs nicely with something fresh or tangy.
To stop the cheese leaking from sigara börek with kaşar and white cheese, keep the filling away from the edges and fold the sides in before rolling. Seal the final tip with water, and avoid crowding the pan, which can knock the rolls open.
Sigara börek with kaşar and white cheese is traditionally made with thin Turkish yufka, cut into triangles and rolled around the filling. If you cannot find yufka, thin phyllo sheets can work; keep them covered while assembling because they dry out quickly.
Sigara börek with kaşar and white cheese is best served hot or warm, when the pastry is crisp and the kaşar is melted. Let freshly cooked rolls rest briefly before serving so the filling is not scorching hot; cooled leftovers can be reheated for a crisper result.

Sigara börek with kaşar and white cheese is made by rolling thin yufka pastry around a filling of kaşar, a Turkish semi-hard cheese, and white cheese. The slim rolls are usually fried until crisp outside, with a warm, soft cheese centre. In Turkey they’re served hot at breakfast, with tea, as part of a meze spread, or for guests; English-speaking diners may know them as a Turkish snack or starter. The cheese contributes protein, while the pastry and frying make them substantial: 100 g provides 330 calories. Serve with fresh salad or herbs, or bake the rolls instead of frying for a lighter result.
