Besttat Spinach & Cheese Country Pie, or Ispanaklı Peynirli Köy Böreği, is a frozen börek in the round, country style: hand-made layers of pastry wrapped around a filling of spinach with feta and white cheese, as shown on the front of the pack. The pack also states 'No Preservatives' and carries a halal logo. The 800 g pie comes deep-frozen in a tray, ready to go into the oven, so you can serve a freshly baked börek without making or rolling any dough yourself.
The cooking symbol on the pack shows about 180 °C for roughly 35 to 40 minutes, with a note to remove the cover before baking. Give it a few minutes to settle once it comes out of the oven, then cut it into wedges like a cake. It goes well with a glass of ayran or a cup of black tea, a simple tomato, cucumber and parsley salad, or a spoonful of plain yoghurt on the side. It is a practical choice for a weekend breakfast table or for guests who drop by unexpectedly.
Keep the pie in the freezer until you are ready to bake and follow the full cooking and storage instructions printed on the pack. As with any frozen pastry, do not refreeze it once it has thawed. The front of the pack does not show the full ingredient and allergen list, so please read the label before serving it to anyone with a food allergy.
