Advice

Cool the cooked leeks completely before mixing them with the eggs and cheese, because excess heat can loosen the filling and soften the phyllo before baking.

Why it works 💡

Slowly cooked leeks develop natural sweetness while losing excess moisture, double phyllo layers hold the creamy filling securely, and sparkling water creates steam that keeps the inside tender beneath the crisp golden crust.

Twist 🌶️

For a richer variation, add 120 g finely chopped roasted red pepper (¾ cup / 4.2 oz) and 2 g smoked paprika (1 tsp / 0.07 oz) to the leek and cheese filling.

Status

Crisp golden phyllo, sweet leeks, creamy cheese, fresh herbs, and toasted sesame bring warm Balkan bakery comfort to every bite. 🥬✨
