Stuffed grape leaves with Kashar cheese are grape leaves wrapped around Kashar, a Turkish semi-hard cheese. Recipes may use cheese alone or combine it with other filling ingredients, so the texture and cooking method can vary.
Stuffed grape leaves with Kashar cheese are a cheese-focused variation, rather than the familiar rice- or meat-filled dolma. Grape-leaf wrapping is traditional in Turkey, but this particular filling is a less conventional take.
Fold the sides of each leaf over the filling and roll it snugly, then place the seam underneath. Cook the stuffed grape leaves with Kashar cheese gently; excessive heat and loose wrapping make melted cheese more likely to escape.
Yes, stuffed grape leaves with Kashar cheese can be baked in a covered oven-safe dish. Keep the rolls close together and add a little liquid if the recipe calls for it, so the leaves soften without drying out.
Stuffed grape leaves with Kashar cheese are usually best warm, when the cheese is soft. Unlike many rice-filled dolmas served chilled, this cheese-filled version can be reheated gently before serving.
Serve stuffed grape leaves with Kashar cheese with a crisp salad, lemon, or plain yogurt. Their savory, rich filling pairs well with fresh, tangy sides rather than another heavy cheese dish.
Yes, another cheese can work, but it changes the dish. Kashar melts well and has a mild, savory flavor; a crumbly cheese may not hold together as neatly inside the grape leaves.
Rinse brined grape leaves under cold water before making stuffed grape leaves with Kashar cheese. If they taste very salty, soak them briefly and rinse again; prolonged soaking can make the leaves bland or fragile.
Keep leftover stuffed grape leaves with Kashar cheese in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat them within a few days. Reheat only the portion you plan to serve, until the filling is hot throughout.
Yes, you can freeze stuffed grape leaves with Kashar cheese, though the leaves may soften and the cheese texture may change after thawing. Freeze them in a sealed container, thaw in the refrigerator, and reheat thoroughly.

Stuffed grape leaves with Kashar cheese are a Turkish take on sarma: vine leaves rolled around Kashar, a mild, semi-hard Turkish cheese, rather than the familiar rice-based filling. The leaves bring a gently tangy, savoury contrast to the cheese, which softens as it warms.
In Turkey, they can be served warm as a meze or enjoyed as a substantial snack; a squeeze of lemon or a fresh salad makes a good accompaniment. They’re filling and provide 10.4 g of protein per 100 g. Pairing them with crisp vegetables keeps a serving feeling lighter.
