All the borekas I ever ate or made in Israel were made with puff pastry. Farmer’s Cheese was used and grated american (or yellow-gvinah tsubah), which was grated into the farmer’s cheese and mixed with egg, salt and pepper to taste, and either very finely grated onion or onion powder. I often made it without the onion or onion powder since it is generally made without. I used about a pound of farmer’s cheese and around a pound of yellow cheese. Grate the yellow into the farmer’s cheese with the biggest holes on your grater. You can also do kasha, spinach, spinach and cheese, potato, meat, ground poultry and sweet fillings. When my kids were little I always made them small. Now that they’re grown, so have the borekas. To keep it somewhat healthyI buy the non fat farmer’s cheese. Have fun and enjoy.

Oh, THAT’s a subtle hint! :)

So, the cat’s out of the bag — we’re having dairy. Don’t worry, you won’t regret it. After all, good kosher cheese often costs more per pound than good kosher meat…

Just because it is Shavuot doesn't mean that you can't eat meat. Why not do both?
