Galaktoboureko (γαλακτομπούρεκο) is a Greek dessert of semolina-based custard (sometimes flavored with lemon or orange) in phyllo. It may be made in a pan, with phyllo layered on top and underneath, or rolled into individual servings (often approximately 10 cm long). It is served or coated with a clear, sweet syrup.
Its name is derived from the words gala (γάλα; milk in Greek) and bourek (Turkish word burek: pie or pastry).
Unlike mille-feuille, which it otherwise resembles, the custard is baked with the pastry, not added afterwards.
