byrek me spinaq
Albania · Europe
Thin sheets of pastry enclose a spinach-and-cheese filling and bake to a crisp, golden surface. Albanian tourism describes both gjizë-filled byrek and a version combining spinach with this fresh local cheese.[1]
In Edlira Sh.’s recipe published by ArtiGatimit, spinach is worked by hand until wilted, then mixed with eggs, milk, cheese and a little butter. A flour-and-water dough is divided and rolled into thin sheets, with flour or starch keeping them from sticking. Pastry and filling are arranged in successive layers before baking.[2]
