An Australian doctor and mum-of-two has shared her ultimate ‘cheat’s recipe’ for delicious homemade gozleme.
Melbourne GP Dr Preeya Alexander made the simple, tasty meal for her children using five ingredients – wilted spinach, cheddar cheese, wraps, lemon juice and olive oil.
‘Both of my kids smash this – it’s in my daughter’s lunchbox for school often and my toddler eats it on the go,’ she wrote and demonstrated the method in an Instagram video.
Gozleme is a traditional savoury Turkish flatbread that’s often filled with spinach and feta, but can also be made with meat, cheese and tomato.
As Victoria is currently in another strict Covid-19 lockdown, Dr Alexander said the meal is the ‘perfect easy, quick meal’ to lift your spirits.

To make the healthy lunch meal, she first wilted the spinach in a pot on the stove with some olive oil.
‘I used home grown silverbeet here (wilted) because I’m a small legend,’ she joked, adding: ‘But baby spinach or frozen spinach ($2 at the supermarket) also works a treat.’
Once the spinach was ready, she placed a small amount onto one side of a wrap then added a few slices of cheddar cheese.
She then grilled the open wrap for ten minutes, keeping a watchful eye over it to ensure the cheese didn’t burn.
The dish was then removed from the grill and a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice was squirted over the cheese and spinach before folding the wrap in half.
