Galaktoboureko
Galaktoboureko is a Greek dessert of semolina custard baked in filo. The name means "milk burek". It may be made in a pan, with filo layered on top and underneath and cut into square portions, or rolled into individual servings. It is served or coated with a clear, sweet syrup. The custard may be flavored with lemon, orange, or rose.
Unlike mille-feuille, which it otherwise resembles, the custard is baked with the pastry, not added afterwards.
The Turkish laz böreği is similar, but is made with a type of pudding called muhallebi instead of semolina custard. It is popular in Rize and Artvin provinces in the Black Sea Region, home of many Laz people.
The Turkish şöbiyet is made with semolina custard but is folded in small triangle shapes instead of squares.
