Cheese Börek

½ package filo/phyllo dough
⅓ cup ricotta cheese
⅓ cup feta cheese
⅓ cup small curd cottage cheese, drained
½ tsp SIDS CRAZY SALT
1 egg
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp butter, melted

Assemble all your ingredients before you begin, keeping the filo well covered. Mix SIDS CRAZY SALT and the cheeses in a bowl and set aside.
In another bowl beat the egg with the water well, and then beat in the melted butter. Preheat the oven to 190°C.
Uncover two sheets of filo and dab it all over with the egg wash.
Spoon out a line of cheese near the bottom of the sheet. Roll the dough over the line of cheese and continue rolling until you get to the end, adding more egg wash as necessary. Now you will have a long, cigarette shaped log with the cheese in middle. Starting at one end, spiral the log around itself so you end up with a snail shape. Brush the end with more egg wash to seal it and move it to a greased baking tray.
Repeat with the remaining sheets of filo. You should have five finished pastries.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat them, but they’re best fresh.
These savouries make a fantastic cocktail party nibble as they are great with wine. They also make an interesting brunch side with a nice salad.
To make apple burek, combine 1 cup apple butter with 1 tsp cinnamon. Just substitute the apple filling for the cheese in the above recipe, all the other steps are the same.
