The peinirli (or penirli) is an elongated, open pie made in a boat shape.
They contain a substantial amount of yellow cheese and optionally, meats or vegetables.
[1] Peinirli originated in Turkey, where it is known as peynirli.
[2] There are two types of pide: peynirli pide, in which cheese entirely covers the surface of the filling and karışık pide, which has cheese only as part of the filling (usually one third).
The suffix -li is also used for ingredients, such as kıymalı ("with minced meat"),[4] pastırmalı ("with pastirma"),[5] or ıspanaklı ("with spinach").
