Big Mac Burek

Burek, also known as bourék, byurek, pita, bourekas, and cheese pie, can be formed into horseshoe shapes, coils, cylinders, or round pies, variously eaten as appetizers or as a main course. I had the idea of making a big mac burek and it was so delicious and fun to make.  I know it is intimidating to make phyllo from scratch but it is honestly not that hard!  Give it a try!!
