Galaktoboureko

(Γαλακτομπούρεκο)

This traditional Greek dessert consists of numerous phyllo sheets that are sprinkled with melted butter and coupled with a light semolina custard. When baked and well-chilled, the pastry is traditionally doused in the orange spiced, sugary syrup, allowing the layers to absorb the flavors and transform galaktoboureko into a soft, velvety treat.


This Greek classic is commonly found in pastry shops and traditional taverns across the country.
