Improved Spinach and Feta Cheese Börek Recipe

There is a high demand on spinach and cheese börek in my lovely household since the first time I posted the recipe HERE. Although I made a lot of potato börek before, the one with spinach is absolutely a new addition in my list of favorite Turkish recipes. Hubby would suggest börek either for breakfast, lunch, or dinner almost every time I ask him for help with the weekly menu. By the way, I improved my recipe a bit by adding more ingredients.








The top part is definitely crisp.





See that yummy cheesy goodness.





Husband just confessed that he likes my cooking better than MIL. Shhhh! Seni seviyorum annecim!! :)
