For a quick and delicious homemade treat, try this easy recipe for pan-fried gözleme filled with kashar cheese. This Turkish flatbread is perfect for busy mornings or a simple snack.
Using readily available ready-made phyllo dough, you can create these savory delights in no time. The recipe calls for grated kashar cheese as the primary filling, offering a rich and melty texture. However, feel free to personalize your gözleme by adding white cheese, sucuk (a type of Turkish sausage), fresh parsley, or your favorite blend of spices.
Preparation is straightforward: cut the phyllo dough in half, lightly moisten it with water, and spread the cheese filling over one half. Fold the dough to create a square or rectangular shape, pressing gently to seal. Then, cook the gözleme in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot, perhaps with a touch of butter for extra richness.
