Sigara Böreği Recipe (Turkish Crispy Cheese Rolls)
Learn how to make crispy Sigara Böreği with this easy Turkish cheese rolls recipe. Golden, crunchy, and perfect for snacks or appetizers.
Ingredients
- 5 sheets yufka or phyllo dough
- 7 oz 200g feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1/4 cup milk for sealing, optional
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the filling
- In a bowl, mix crumbled feta cheese and finely chopped parsley until evenly combined.
- Cut the yufka
- Slice each yufka sheet into triangular wedges (like pizza slices) to create the classic roll shape.
- Fill and roll tightly
- Place about 1 tablespoon of filling on the wide edge, fold the sides inward, and roll tightly. Seal the tip with a little water or milk.
- Heat the oil
- Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (180°C) in a deep pan. Maintaining this temperature ensures a crispy, non-greasy result.
- Fry until golden
- Fry in batches for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp.
- Drain and serve
- Transfer to paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
Notes:
For the best texture, serve immediately after frying. If needed, reheat in the oven at 350°F (180°C) to restore crispiness.
