Ingredients for Byrek me Djathë

  • Filo pastry sheets
  • 500g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 200g ricotta cheese
  • 3 eggs
  • 100g butter, melted
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Step-by-Step Preparation for Byrek me Djathë

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (356°F) to ensure it's at the right temperature when you're ready to bake.

  2. Prepare the Cheese Filling:

    • In a large mixing bowl, crumble 500g of feta cheese.
    • Add 200g of ricotta cheese to the bowl.
    • Crack 3 eggs and whisk them into the cheese mixture.
    • Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined and set aside.

  3. Prepare the Filo Dough:

    • Carefully lay out the filo pastry sheets on a clean, dry surface.
    • Melt 100g of butter in a small saucepan or microwave.
    • Using a pastry brush, gently brush each filo sheet with melted butter. Be sure to cover the entire surface to prevent drying out.
    • After buttering, stack the sheets on top of each other. You'll typically need 4-5 sheets for a good layer.

  4. Assemble the Byrek:

    • In a baking dish (around 9x13 inches), lay down your first layer of buttered filo sheets.
    • Spread half of the cheese mixture evenly over the filo layer.
    • Place another 4-5 layers of buttered filo sheets on top of the cheese mixture.
    • Spread the remaining cheese mixture over these sheets.
    • Top with a final layer of 4-5 buttered filo sheets. Tuck in any overhanging edges or corners.

  5. Bake the Byrek:

    • Before baking, score the top layer of filo lightly with a knife. This makes cutting the byrek easier after baking.
    • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
    • Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until the byrek turns a beautiful golden brown on top.

  6. Cool and Serve:

    • Once baked, remove the byrek from the oven.
    • Let it cool for a few minutes. This step is important as it helps the layers set and makes slicing easier.
    • Cut into squares or desired shapes.
    • Serve warm, ideally as a delightful breakfast or a comforting supper.
