Rice paper feta burek: mix feta with egg and mozzarella, roll the filling in softened rice paper, coil into a spiral, sprinkle with sesame and air-fry at 180°C for 15 minutes until golden and crispy. A quick burek-style snack.
Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, crumble feta cheese. Add 1 egg and shredded mozzarella. Mix until smooth.
- 2
Beat the second egg in a shallow dish for brushing.
- 3
Dip rice paper sheets into the beaten egg to soften. Overlap 2–3 sheets to create one long base.
- 4
Spoon the cheese filling into the center. Roll tightly, edge over edge, into a long even log. Handle gently — rice paper is delicate when wet.
- 5
Curl the log into a spiral shape, guiding it with your fingertips.
- 6
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
- 7
Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes until golden and crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I handle the rice paper without tearing it?
Dip it briefly in egg just until pliable, not soggy, and work gently — overlap 2–3 sheets for a sturdier base and roll while it is still slightly firm.
Why use rice paper instead of phyllo?
Rice paper is a quick, no-fuss shortcut that crisps up shatteringly in the air fryer and happens to be gluten-free, with no buttering of layers needed.
Can I change the filling?
Yes — add spinach, herbs or a different cheese. Keep the filling fairly dry and well-bound with egg so it does not leak through the rice paper.
