“An elongated open pie in boat shape, cradling substantial yellow cheese with optional meats or vegetables.”
What the real thing tastes like
The peinirli (or peinirli) is an elongated, open pie made in a boat shape. They contain a substantial amount of yellow cheese and optionally, meats or vegetables. Peinirli originated in Turkey, where it is known as peynirli pide. There are two types of pide: peynirli pide, in which cheese entirely covers the surface of the filling and karışık pide, which has cheese only as part of the filling (usually one third).

Peinirli is a Turkish boat-shaped open pie where cheese takes the lead role — sometimes blanketing the entire filling, sometimes playing supporting actor alongside meat or vegetables. The elongated form cradles a generous load of yellow cheese, and you'll find two distinct approaches: peynirli pide where cheese claims the surface entirely, or karışık pide where it mingles as roughly one-third of the filling mix.
