Gyeranppang pairs a lightly sweet, baking-powder-leavened batter with a whole egg baked right on top, so each bite moves from fluffy bread to set white and a yolk that can stay jammy. Su Böreği is all about layers: egg-rich dough sheets are briefly boiled, plunged into ice water, brushed with butter and olive oil, and stacked around a salty feta-parsley filling until the top turns crisp and golden. Gyeranppang mixes its milk and butter into the batter, while Su Böreği bastes every sheet with butter and brushes milk on top for color. Parsley is merely an optional garnish on the egg bread but part of the borek's filling.
