Rice Paper Burekas (makes 26 burekas)
Ingredients
- 26 Rice paper sheets (small)
- 1 package Cottage cheese
- 1 cup Yellow cheese / shredded mozzarella
- 2 Eggs
- Sesame seeds
Preparation
For the filling: mix the cottage cheese and the mozzarella/yellow cheese together with one egg.Pour a little lukewarm water into a shallow bowl. Dip each rice paper sheet separately in the water, carefully so it doesn't crumple, and lay it gently on a plate / on the counter.
Place half a teaspoon of the filling on the rice paper and fold it inward.
Arrange in a pan lined with baking paper, with the folded side facing down so it doesn't open while baking.
Beat an egg and brush it over each bureka, sprinkle with a little sesame, and bake at 170 degrees until nicely golden.
(About 20 minutes, depending on the oven.)
Upgrade options:
You can fill them with whatever you like: spinach, sweet potato, potato. For something sweet, use apples and cinnamon, chocolate, and more.
Tip:
Salt the filling just a little so it doesn't leak while baking.
Enjoy :)
