boureki

Boureki is a traditional Greek pastry that has gained popularity worldwide. The term "boureki" is derived from the Greek word "boureki," which means "to wrap." It is a savory pie consisting of a flaky pastry shell filled with a variety of ingredients. The most common filling is feta cheese, but other variations include spinach and feta, meat, and even sweet fillings like nutella or jam.

The pastry shell is typically made from filo dough, which is thin layers of dough that are stacked and rolled out to create a flaky texture. The filling is placed in the center of the dough, and the edges are folded over to create a sealed pie. Boureki is often baked until golden brown and crispy.

Boureki is a popular street food in Greece, where it is often sold by vendors in the streets and markets. It is also a common dish in Greek restaurants around the world. The pastry is typically served warm and is often accompanied by a side of yogurt or tzatziki sauce. Boureki is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a snack, a light meal, or a dessert. Its combination of flaky pastry and savory or sweet fillings makes it a beloved treat in many cultures.
