• 225g feta cheese, grated
• 225g mozzarella cheese
• 2 free range eggs, beaten
• 9 tablespoons fresh herbs, chopped
• A twist or two of freshly ground nutmeg
• 225g frozen filo pastry sheets

• Preheat the oven to 180° C (350° F - gas 4) and grease some baking sheets.

Method

1. In a bowl, mix the cheeses, eggs, herbs, nutmeg and pepper.

3. Keeping the pastry covered up with a damp cloth, brush one strip of pastry at a time with melted butter.
4. Put a teaspoon of filling at the the bottom of one end of the strip and fold over one corner of the pastry to form a triangle.
5. Keep folding over the pastry in the same way until you come to the end of the strip.
6. Continue making the böreks until all the filling is used up.
7. Bake on the baking sheets for about 30 minutes until crisp and golden.
