Sheetpan Olive & Cheese Burekas
  1. Thaw puff pastry sheets on the counter or overnight in the fridge.

  2. Unroll the puff pastry onto a piece of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to slightly thin out both sheets.

  3. In a bowl, combine all ingredients for the cheese filling. If the mixture is watery, add 1-2 tbsp. of flour. Make sure you're not adding any extra water from the cheeses.

  4. Place one sheet of puff pastry on parchment paper and use a 1.5-inch mini scooper to add the cheese filling in a 4X6 grid, making 24 squares.

  5. Place the second sheet of dough on top and gently press around the fillings. Use a pizza cutter to slice through the dough, creating squares.

  6. Slide the entire sheet onto a baking sheet.

  7. Beat an egg for the egg wash. In a small bowl, combine za'atar and sesame seeds.

  8. Brush the egg wash over the pastry and sprinkle the za'atar and sesame seed mixture generously.

  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 45 minutes

  10. Enjoy the cheese-filled puff pastry pockets hot, paired with vegetables or a chopped salad.
