Cheese Fatayer recipe with fatayer dough recipe. A quick, simple and easy to follow cheese fatayer recipe from scratch.

Now those who are in the Arab world will know what is a fatayer. All time favorite for many, I was introduced to the fatayer after coming to Dubai. And it is amazing how each restaurant’s fatayer tastes amazingly different and delicious. But, for me, the best fatayer was in Salalah, Oman. The base is crisp and yet so soft and the cheese just melts in your mouth. Though we do find some good fatayer out here in Dubai, but still the Salalah’s fatayer is a hands down winner. And the meshaltat is just another story which tastes so amazingly delicious.

The fatayer can be made with lot of fillings like chicken, mutton, spinach, but my personal favorite is the Cheese Fatayer recipe. Traditionally the Cheese fatayer recipe is made with the akkawi cheese but you can make it with feta cheese or even mozarella cheese. I like to add half of feta and mozzarella together for the Cheese Fatayer recipe.

I have also shared the fatayer dough recipe here and you can use the same recipe for making different kinds, with different fillings and with any shape that you like.

    السلام عليكم فريحه
    MashAllah this is one of the best fatayer recipes. If not literally the best and i’ve tried alot.

    My family loved it. It was was perfect for all types of fatayer shapes and sizes and for all types of filling.

    Keep up the great work and many thanks for sharing!

    P.s. i also loved how soft the dough was without the addition of eggs in the dough.

    الله يوفقك
