Cheese Kaak is a savory baked pastry commonly found in Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly popular in Lebanon. It features a crunchy, bagel-shaped exterior made using wheat flour, sesame seeds, olive oil, and yeast, delivering a toasted, nutty flavor. The filling includes a generous layer of cheese, often Akawi or another mild white cheese, which melts into a creamy center. While Cheese Kaak is rich in carbohydrates and calcium, thanks to the bread and cheese, it can also be high in fats and sodium depending on the type and quantity of cheese used. Olive oil and sesame seeds contribute heart-healthy fats and a dose of essential nutrients. Cheese Kaak is a versatile snack that offers energy and a satisfying balance of textures, but mindful consumption is recommended for those monitoring their fat or sodium intake.
