Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cheeses, parsley, salt, eggs, and baking powder until well-combined.
- Take the dough out of the refrigerator about 15 minutes before using. Unwrap the dough. Note: once fillo dough is exposed to air, it dries out very quickly, becomes brittle and is impossible to use. Be sure to have plastic wrap and a lightly dampened kitchen towel ready to cover the dough to keep it pliable while you fold the boeregs.
- Fold each sheet in half (or in thirds, depending on size of the sheet) lengthwise. Brush dough surface generously with melted butter.
- For each boereg, place a spoonful of filling at the end of the folded dough that's closest to you. Begin folding, as though you were folding a flag - on the diagonal from corner to corner, creating a triangular shape. If there is extra dough at the top, just trim it off or tuck it under.
- Continue to do this until you run out of filling - or - dough.
- Keep the folded boeregs covered with plastic wrap. NOTE: At this point, you can prepare the boeregs for freezing by placing them in a plastic container large enough to hold the amount you are preparing, making sure you use plastic wrap or waxed paper between each stacked layer to prevent the boeregs from sticking together. Cover tightly with the lid, label, date, & freeze.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place boeregs on an ungreased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

BORAGS
Once you learn the technique, you can fold-in almost anything you want. We've included a spinach-and-cheese filling recipe below. Or you can skip the cheese and try meat with onions, another popular choice.

Steps:
- Take the dough out of the refrigerator about 15 minutes before using. Once fillo dough is exposed to air, it dries out very quickly, becomes brittle, and is impossible to use. Be sure to have plastic wrap and a damp towel ready to cover the dough to keep it pliable while you fold the borags.
- If using large fillo sheets, cut the fillo dough in half, lengthwise. Use one half sheet for each borag. Cover the other sheets first with plastic wrap, then the damp towel, while folding each borag.
- Fold each half sheet in half lengthwise. Brush surface with melted butter.
- For each borag, place a spoonful of filling at the end of the folded dough that's closest to you. Begin folding, as though you were folding a flag - on the diagonal from corner to corner, creating a triangular shape. If there is extra dough at the top, just trim it off or tuck it under.
- Continue to do this until you run out of filling - or dough.
- Keep the folded borags covered with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.
- Melt about ½ stick (or more) of unsalted butter.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Brush the top of each borag with melted butter.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Return leftover fillo it to its original wrapper, seal it tightly, and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Leftover cheese filling can be spread on bread then heated under the broiler. There's raw egg in the mixture, so cook before eating!
- Use the same cheese filling as above.
- Instead of using regular fillo dough sheets, use prepared mini-fillo cups (sold in packages of 15). They can be found in the freezer section of most grocery stores.
- Fill each cup almost to the top with the filling. The amount of cheese filling given in this recipe will fill about 3 boxes of the mini-fillo cups - or - about 45.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 10 - 12 minutes.
ARMENIAN CHEESE BOEREG
A very old family recipe. This is how my grandmother made it. All measurements are approximate; my grandmother never measured anything. You can substitute any combination of cheeses. This recipe is for appetizer sized portions. If you want it for a side dish, don't cut the fillo in half. Practice folding boereg, using a piece of paper or a napkin.

- Bring fillo dough to room temperature. Unroll dough on wax paper, cut in half for appetizer size boereg. stack and cover with saran wrap and a damp towel.
- Take one sheet of filo, with short side facing you. Brush entire sheet with melted butter. Place half a teaspoon of cheese a little to the right of center, toward the bottom of the sheet. Fold right side over cheese, and left side over top, in thirds.
- Brush with butter, and fold up the bottom over the cheese ball, then fold over diagonally. Continue to fold diagonally, left and right, until you reach the top and you will have a triangular shaped boereg, around 3 inches across bottom.
