Sheet Pan Burek with Beef & Feta

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 1.5 cups feta cheese, crumbled
• 12 sheets phyllo pastry sheets
• 6 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp each salt, pepper, and dried oregano
• ½ cup plain yogurt, for serving

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden, ~8 minutes.

3. 3

   Add ground beef to the pan, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until no pink remains, ~6 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir in salt, pepper, and oregano. Remove from heat and fold in crumbled feta.

5. 5

   Brush the baking sheet with 1 tbsp olive oil. Layer 6 phyllo sheets on top, brushing each with oil.

6. 6

   Spread the beef-feta mixture evenly over the phyllo. Layer remaining 6 sheets on top, brushing each with oil.

7. 7

   Brush the top sheet with remaining 1 tbsp oil. Score into 8 rectangles with a sharp knife (do not cut all the way through).

8. 8

   Bake until the top is deep golden brown and crispy, 20–25 minutes.

9. 9

   Cool for 5 minutes. Serve with a dollop of yogurt on the side.
