Stuffed Spinach & Cheese Gözleme

Print Recipe

Turkish-style flatbreads pan-seared until crisp and filled with a savory blend of spinach, feta, and aromatic herbs—perfect for a comforting breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup warm water (plus more as needed)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for dough)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or dill
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk flour and salt. Add warm water and olive oil, mixing to form a soft dough. Knead briefly until smooth. Cover and rest for 15 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, combine chopped spinach, feta, garlic, parsley, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Divide dough into 6 equal balls. Roll each into a thin circle, about 6–7 inches in diameter, dusting with flour as needed.
  4. Place a portion of spinach‑feta filling on one half of each circle, leaving a small edge. Fold the dough over to enclose the filling and press edges to seal.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat and brush with olive oil or melt butter. Cook each gözleme for about 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown with charred spots.
  6. Remove from pan, slice into wedges, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick or cast iron skillet for best results.
  • Can be customized with other fillings like mushrooms or mozzarella.
  • Serve with a side of yogurt or tomato salad for a complete meal.
