Brought to Turkish cuisine by Circassian immigrants, Çerkez böreği wraps crushed walnuts and kaşar cheese in thin yufka and fries it until crisp. Cooked with little oil in the air fryer, it makes a warm starter for celebration tables.
Mix the crushed walnuts with the grated kaşar cheese, chopped parsley and black pepper in a bowl. The cheese is salty enough on its own, so do not add extra salt.
Cut each yufka into four equal pieces and brush each with melted butter. Place a teaspoon of filling along one edge and roll loosely into a cigar, sealing the end with egg yolk.
Arrange the rolls in the basket with space between them and cook in an air fryer preheated to 190°C for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp. If you do not have an air fryer, bake them in an oven preheated to the same temperature for 20 minutes.
Rest the rolls for 2-3 minutes after cooking and serve them warm; the kaşar filling firms up as it cools.
Do not roll the filling too tightly in the yufka; trapped steam can split the wrapper while it cooks. Leave space between the rolls in the air fryer basket, or the touching sides will not crisp evenly. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), milk and dairy, egg and tree nuts (walnut).
Swapping half the walnuts for hazelnuts gives the filling a sweeter edge; adding an extra pinch of black pepper keeps the balance.

Yufkaları dörde keserken ince olanlar hemen yırtıldı, kalınca yufka kullanınca rulo sarmak çok daha kolay oldu. Airfryer'da 13 dakikada güzelce kızardı, sepete sığdırmak için iki seferde pişirmem gerekti ama sonuç gayet iyiydi.
