Frequently Asked Questions About Spinach and cheese börek
What is spinach and cheese börek?
Spinach and cheese börek is a savory Turkish pastry made with thin filo-style dough wrapped around a spinach-and-cheese filling. In the kol form, the filled pastry is rolled into a long coil, then baked until golden.
How is spinach and cheese börek different from spanakopita?
Spinach and cheese börek is Turkish, and its kol shape is made by rolling the filled pastry into a long coil. Greek spanakopita commonly uses layered filo folded into a tray pie or triangles; both often combine spinach and cheese, but their shapes and seasonings vary.
What cheese is used in spinach and cheese börek?
Spinach and cheese börek can be made with a crumbly, salty white cheese, such as Turkish beyaz peynir or feta. Some recipes mix in a milder melting cheese, so the filling may be tangier or creamier depending on the cheese used.
How do you keep spinach and cheese börek from getting soggy?
To keep spinach and cheese börek from getting soggy, remove excess moisture from the spinach before mixing the filling. Wash and dry fresh leaves thoroughly, or cook them briefly and squeeze out the liquid; also let cooked filling cool before wrapping it.
Can you freeze spinach and cheese börek?
Yes, spinach and cheese börek freezes well after baking. Cool it completely, wrap individual portions airtight, and freeze; thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for a crisper pastry than you would get from microwaving.
How long does leftover spinach and cheese börek keep?
Leftover spinach and cheese börek keeps in the refrigerator for a few days when cooled and stored in a covered container. Because the filling contains spinach and cheese, refrigerate it rather than leaving it out, and reheat portions until hot.
How do you reheat spinach and cheese börek without making it soft?
Reheat spinach and cheese börek in the oven to bring back some of the pastry’s crispness. Place the portion on a baking sheet and heat until warmed through; a microwave is quicker but tends to make the filo soft.
What do you serve with spinach and cheese börek?
Serve spinach and cheese börek with a crisp salad, yogurt, or a glass of ayran. In Turkey it also works well with tea for breakfast or an afternoon snack; a fresh, cooling side balances the rich pastry.
Can you make spinach and cheese börek with fresh spinach?
Yes, fresh spinach works well in spinach and cheese börek. Wash and dry the leaves carefully, then chop them; you can use them raw in the filling or briefly cook them first, but remove any released liquid to protect the pastry.
Is spinach and cheese börek a good make-ahead dish?
Yes, spinach and cheese börek is convenient to prepare ahead. Assemble it and refrigerate it covered before baking, or bake it in advance and reheat it in the oven; keep the filling cool and avoid leaving the assembled pastry at room temperature for long.

What is Spinach and cheese börek?
Spinach and cheese börek is a Turkish baked pastry made by wrapping a savoury spinach-and-cheese filling in thin sheets of dough, then rolling it into a long shape. Recipes vary from home to home, including in the type of cheese used, and bakeries often sell it by the slice.
The outside is flaky and golden, while the filling stays soft and savoury. In Turkey it is enjoyed warm for breakfast, with tea as a snack, or as part of a simple meal; elsewhere, it also makes an easy brunch or lunch alongside salad or yoghurt. The pastry makes it fairly energy-dense, while the cheese contributes protein: it provides 9.2 g per 100 g. For a lighter plate, pair a modest slice with plenty of fresh vegetables.
