About Boereg

Michael Aram shares his family’s Armenian cheese boereg through The Armenian Kitchen. The phyllo triangles enclose Muenster and farmer’s cheese with parsley, egg, salt and a little baking powder.

Butter brushed over the pastry supplies richness around the cheesy filling. Flat-leaf parsley adds a fresh herbal note, while the two cheeses remain central to the savoury flavour.

The pastries have the flaky, buttery exterior and fluffy cheese centre described by the publisher. Folded triangular layers become golden in the oven, with butter also brushed over the top.
