Boreks (Turkish Pastries)

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350°.
2. 2
   Crumble the feta cheese, then mix feta with the chives (or dill), parsley, and pepper.
3. 3
   Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Skim off any foam that accumulates.
4. 4
   Cut the phyllo pastry sheets into 3-inch strips. Take one strip and cover the rest with a clean, damp cloth.
5. 5
   Brush the first phyllo strip with melted butter, and place a teaspoon of feta/herb mixture on the bottom right corner of the phyllo sheet, about 1/4-inch from the edge.
6. 6
   Pick up the bottom right corner of the phyllo sheet and fold it up and over the feta/herb mixture so the corner reaches the top edge of the phyllo sheet and forms a triangle. Keep folding the pastry over itself, being careful that the filling remains intact, until you reach the end of the phyllo sheet and have a triangle shaped pastry.
7. 7
   Repeat steps #5 and #6, using remaining phyllo sheets and feta/herb mixture.
8. 8
   Lay pastries on a baking sheet, and brush with remaining melted butter. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
