I have been remiss in posting a recipe for Penerli, a fried cheese boreg, sent to me ages ago from Mark Gavoor, an occasional reader of our blog/website and self-proclaimed eater. (Forgive me, Mark!)
He suggested we preserve and document this amazing recipe. I intended to prepare the recipe in order to have a photo to attach, but fried foods and I don’t get along, and the opportunity to make it for others never came to be.

To make a quick version, use wonton skins. Add the filling, close the wonton to either create a triangle or a cylinder. Use water or a little egg white to make the long edge stick (if you are forming a cylinder). Crimp the edges with a fork. Fry.
It does not have the same flavor as freshly made dough, but if you're running late and have to make 300 of these...
Ara, what a brilliant time-saving solution; thanks!
Question...did you have to make 300 of these?!?

Thanks for the kudos and posting this simple, magical, penerli recipe.
And yes... I am an Armenian foodie.
Keep up the great website.
Mark
I will take a photo at the St. Hagop Madagh picnic at the end of this month for you.

Great, thanks!
Armenian Penerlee is made with 2 boxes of Phyllo dough, clarified butter, shredded Jack cheese or Havarti, and parsley. You use dough and butter as you would if you were making Paklava. One box of leaves on bottom , the cheese and parley in the middle, and one box of dough on top. Cut and bake.
