Questions

How much time should I plan for Su Boregi?

As written, 85 minutes: 45 of prep and 40 of cooking. The longest single stretch is step 5 (40 minutes): "Bake at 375 degrees F for 40 minutes until golden brown on top."

What temperature do I cook Su Boregi at?

For Su Boregi, the oven is set to 375 F (about 190 C) in step 5. The longest stretch at that heat is 40 minutes, in step 5.

What can I use instead of feta in Su Boregi?

The entry for Su Boregi calls for 3 cups feta cheese, crumbled. In its place: Crumbled queso fresco or ricotta salata is milder but behaves the same. For dairy-free, crumble firm tofu and marinate it in lemon juice and salt.

Can I make Su Boregi dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (1 cup unsalted butter, melted, 3 cups feta cheese, crumbled) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free breakfast collection instead.

Can I make Su Boregi gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in Su Boregi is 4 cups all-purpose flour. Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works). Everything else proceeds as written.

Does Su Boregi contain eggs?

Yes: 4 large eggs, beaten. The full allergen list for this entry is gluten, dairy and eggs. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.
