Can you cook Triangular Börek with Curd Cheese in an air fryer?

Why does Triangular Börek with Curd Cheese turn soggy?

Can you freeze cooked Triangular Börek with Curd Cheese?
Yes, cooked Triangular Börek with Curd Cheese can be frozen once completely cool and packed airtight. The pastry may lose some crispness after thawing, so reheat it in the oven rather than serving it straight from the refrigerator.
How do you keep phyllo from drying out when making Triangular Börek with Curd Cheese?
