If there’s one thing that defines Shavuos cooking, it’s this: maximum wow, minimum effort. And that’s exactly why Sivan’s sheet pan borekas will, without a doubt, be making an appearance in so many homes this Shavuos!
This recipe flips the classic borekas on its head. Instead of folding dozens of individual pastries, you create one golden, flaky slab and slice it into perfect portions. The result? All the crispy, cheesy goodness you love, with none of the fuss.
Two layers of puff pastry sandwich a rich, creamy cheese filling, then get scored into diamond shapes before baking. It comes out of the oven golden and crisp. No shaping, sealing, or crimping required.
Speaking of the filling, you can use any cheese combo. Grate them up, mix them in. No such thing as too much cheese, right?
This base filling is super flexible. You can add:
– Chopped spinach
– Sliced olives
– Sun-dried tomatoes
– Canned mushrooms
… and more!
It feels elevated and bakery-worthy while still being incredibly practical. It feeds a crowd with ease, can be prepped ahead and baked fresh when needed, and slices neatly for simple, stress-free serving.
Thank you, Sivan, for sharing this with us!
