Christmas Break {Part 7: Armenian Cooking}

We are back in Folsom with my family! It's fun to spend some time with my family. We drove down to my Mom's parents - the boys went golfing and the girls learned how to make some traditional Armenian dishes (moussaka and boreg). It was so fun, and very tasty! Since the recipe for moussaka is more involved, I'll just include the boreg recipe.

Cheese Boreg

1 lb of Monterey Jack Cheese

1 package of filo dough

1 stick of butter

1 Egg

In a small bowl mix the egg and cheese together with a fork. Take 3 sheets of your thawed filo dough, and individually butter all three sheets. Lay the buttered sheets on top of each other. Then cut the sheets them in thirds "hot dog style". Place about a tablespoon of the cheese and egg mixture at one end of the cut sheets, and fold it up like a flag (triangularly). Bake for 10-20 minutes at 400 degrees.
