Pistachio Cheese Kol Böreği is a type of pastry that is one of the most popular flavors of Turkish cuisine, especially in Gaziantep region. This pastry is prepared with thin layers of phyllo dough and authentic Antep cheese.
The phyllo sheets are rolled out by hand and prepared very thinly, with melted butter or oil spread between them. The cheese is usually grated or crumbled and sprinkled into the phyllo. Sometimes the filling is enriched with greens such as parsley, green onions or spices such as chili pepper and black pepper.
Kol pastry is prepared by wrapping it long and thin and rolled into long rolls, usually called "kol". These rolls are either fried in the oven or cooked in a pan with a little oil. After the cooking process, the outside of the pastry becomes crispy, while the inside is rich and moist with the flavor of the cheese.
Pistachio cheese puff pastry is a popular snack that is usually served for breakfast, tea time or special occasions. In addition to being a local delicacy, it is also prepared and consumed in a similar style in other regions of Turkey. This flavor, which you can find both homemade and in restaurants, is considered a part of Gaziantep's rich culinary culture.
