Egyptian Cheese and Herb Sandwich (Fiteer Meshaltet or Goulash)
You are going to love this crispy Egyptian sandwich, a true explosion of flavors! The fresh cheese mixed with herbs reminds me of the street pastries found in Cairo in the morning. Cumin and coriander bring that oriental touch that makes you travel. It's perfect for a quick lunch, a picnic, or even a gourmet brunch. The dough is light, the filling is melting and aromatic, a real joy! In Egypt, it's often eaten with mint tea. Get ready to make it again and again because it's addictive.
