The story the reviews tell
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.
What makes this version distinct
