For the börek, first prepare the filling. Finely chop the onion and saute it in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until golden, about 5 minutes.

Add the fresh leaves and crushed garlic, fry for 3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Transfer this mixture into a bowl. Add the crumbled feta, eggs and pepper and mix well. The filling is ready.
Assembling and baking

Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Grease a 20 x 30 cm baking dish with the remaining olive oil.
- 5
Place 2 sheets of filo dough on the bottom of the dish and brush with the melted butter and oil mixture. Spread the entire prepared filling evenly.

Cover with the remaining filo sheets, brushing each with butter. Brush the top layer a little more generously.

Using a sharp knife, cut it into squares or rectangles before placing in the oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden and crispy.
More tips:
Let the filling cool completely before use, warm filling soaks and tears the thin dough.
Keep the yufka sheets under a damp towel, they dry out and crack quickly in the air.
