Air Fry your Burek in 3 Easy Steps

Burek has always been one of the most versatile foods and we've proven that with our endless exploration of flavor combinations. There are so many ways to make burek and so many ways to cook it, too! In addition to baking our flaky phyllo swirls in an oven, you can air fry them in half the time. In three easy steps, you have the perfect addition to any meal.

1. Pre-heat your air fryer to 390°F.
2. Place your burek into your air fryer and set a timer for 15 minutes.
3. After 15 minutes, flip your burek and bake for 5 more minutes.
In just 20 minutes you can have delicious flaky burek, made from scratch.

Tag us on Instagram @balkanbitesnyc and let us know what you think! This method is a great way to enjoy our Burek in almost half the time. Head on over to our Shop to order some Burek to try out in your air fryer!

We drove around NJ and NY delivering burek ourselves!
