Burekas...a party in your mouth..

Hubby traveled to Israel and (Yea!) all I got were some burekas!!!!  He calls them "a party in your mouth."

Burekas are little savory/danish/knish/spanikopita-like,  treats that I discovered when I went to Israel several years ago.  It was love at first scarf.  Burekas can be found throughout Morocco, Turkey, Albania, and everywhere in the Middle East.  They are basically phyllo dough cakes stuffed with whatever the cook feels like:  potato, cheese, spinach, eggplant, etc.  A breakfast of strong coffee and a couple of these is a common breakfast in Israel.  The Pop Tart of the Mid-East, if you will....   I'm going to try to make them.  It looks pretty straight forward.

Next time you are over there, throw a few in your suitcase for your friends, family, or wife!!!
