Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses
Asparagus is the harbinger of spring, and its fresh green flavor pairs perfectly with salty feta cheese. The burek format allows the asparagus to steam between layers of dough, retaining its vitamins and crunch. This dish is a celebration of seasonal cuisine: simple yet elegant.

Instructions

1 ✓

Clean the asparagus, snap off woody ends. Cut into 1-inch pieces and blanch in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, then cool in ice water.

Tip: Shock cooling stops the cooking process and sets the chlorophyll, keeping the asparagus bright green.
2 ✓

Mix the crumbled feta, sour cream, egg, and spices. Fold in the dried asparagus.

Tip: Feta is salty, so be careful adding extra salt.
3 ✓

Brush the phyllo sheets with oil, layering them in twos. Pile the filling on, roll up, then coil into a spiral.

Tip: Work quickly because phyllo dough dries out and breaks easily in the air.
4 ✓

Brush the top with oil or egg wash. Bake at 400°F for 25-30 minutes.

Tip: The hot oven immediately starts lifting the layers.

Recipe FAQ

Do I need to peel green asparagus?
Usually no, just snap off the woody bottom ends. If very thick, you can peel the bottom third thinly.
What kind of sour cream should I use?
Higher fat content (20%+) sour cream gives a creamier texture and is less likely to separate during baking.
