Byorek
- Byoreks (Armenian: բյորեկ), Eastern Armenians refer to this as Khachapuri, are pies made with phyllo pastry and stuffed with cheese (panirov byorek, from Armenian: panir for cheese) or spinach (similar to spanakopita in Greek cuisine). They are a popular snack and fast food, often served as appetizer. The Su byorek (su byoreki, or water burek, in Turkish cuisine) is a lasagna-style dish with sheets of phyllo pastry briefly boiled in a large pan before being spread with fillings. Msov byorek is a bread roll (not phyllo pastry) stuffed with ground meat (similar to Russian pirozhki).
- Semsek, from the region of Urfa, is a fried open-faced meat byorek(like mini-pizzas).
- A specific Lenten byorek is made with spinach and tahini sauce.
