Method

1. Mix the halloumi and mozzarella with the cornstarch... the cornstarch is necessary so the cheese does not ooze out of the phyllo during frying
2. Mix one tablespoon of flour with a little water until you have a sticky mixture suitable for sealing the cheese borek
3. Place a little filling on each phyllo sheet and roll them into rolls or as desired... then seal them with a little of the flour-and-water mixture
4. Fry the borek in hot, deep oil until they are slightly colored
