Notes
s
-
Moisture Control: Squeezing the liquid out of the grated vegetables is the most crucial step. It ensures the patties hold their shape and prevents them from becoming mushy.
-
Cheese Choice: Kaşar cheese provides an authentic, stringy texture. Mozzarella is the best substitute for a similar melt.
-
Börek Flavor: The use of paprika and the baked method contributes to the savory, comforting flavor profile often found in Börek pastry filling.
-
Garnishing: Top with cheese and tomato only for the final 10 minutes of baking; this ensures the toppings do not burn while the patty sets.
-
Make Ahead: The raw grated vegetable mixture can be prepared and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Form and bake the patties just before serving.
