Galaktoboureko

Galaktoboureko (Greek: γαλακτομπούρεκο) is an Ottoman dessert of semolina custard baked in filo.[2] The name means "milk börek". It may be made in a pan, with filo layered on top and underneath and cut into square portions, or rolled into individual servings (often approximately 10 cm (4 in) long). It is served or coated with a clear, sweet syrup. The custard may be flavored with lemon, orange, or rose.

Unlike mille-feuille, which it otherwise resembles, the custard is baked with the pastry,[3] not added afterwards.

Laz böreği

The Turkish laz böreği is similar, but is made with a type of pudding called muhallebi instead of semolina custard. It is popular in Rize and Artvin provinces in the Black Sea Region, home of many Laz people.[4][5] Laz böreği is now available across Turkey.[6]

The Turkish şöbiyet is made with semolina custard but is folded in small triangle shapes instead of squares.[7]
