Steps

  1. In a medium nonstick pan, whisk together the egg, milk, and vegetable oil to create the sauce.
  2. Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl and mix it with the kashar cheese (if using) and chopped parsley.
  3. Place several yufka sheets in the pan, hanging them on the sides of the pan.
  4. Dip each sheet into the prepared sauce to soak as much as possible. Place the soaked sheet down, wrinkling it slightly to create air pockets for the filling.
  5. Add a layer of the cheese mixture onto the bottom and sides of the yufka sheets.
  6. Place another layer of yufka over the top of the filling, sealing it in place.
  7. Pour any leftover sauce into the pan around the borek (avoid pouring directly on the cooking surface).
  8. Cook the borek on the stovetop for about five minutes. Carefully turn the borek using a plate to cook the other side until golden brown and crunchy.
