For a richer flavor, try using a blend of mozzarella and feta cheese. Experiment with different fillings, such as spinach and ricotta, or mashed potatoes and caramelized onions. Make sure the puff pastry is properly thawed but still cold to prevent it from becoming sticky and difficult to work with. If you don't have sesame seeds, poppy seeds or everything bagel seasoning make excellent substitutes. These bourekas can be made ahead of time and frozen before baking. Simply bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
