Parmesan and Olive Burekas

👨‍🍳 Method

For the Wrapping Dough

1. 1
   Thaw the puff pastry in the fridge overnight, until pliable but still cold.

   Refrigerator

   💡Work with store-bought dough while it's cold: warm puff pastry gets sticky and won't puff in the oven, and phyllo sheets dry out fast, so keep the waiting sheets covered with a damp towel.

For the Pastry Filling

1. 2
   In a bowl, mix the yellow cheese, Parmesan, olives, eggs and oregano, and season with black pepper.

2. 3
   Roll out the dough on a work surface and cut into into squares of about 10 cm.

3. 4
   Place a spoonful of cooled filling in the center of each piece, fold into a triangle and seal the edges well with a fork.

   💡Seal well and press with a fork all along the edges, and don't overfill: a pastry that opens in the oven loses its filling, and in the fryer it fills with oil.

   Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

   💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
