About Cheese sambousek

Cheese Sambousek is a savory pastry popular in Middle Eastern cuisine. This flavorful dish consists of a thin dough envelope filled with a mixture of creamy cheeses, often combined with herbs or spices for added zest. The filling typically includes feta, mozzarella, or cream cheese, lending it a rich and satisfying taste, while the dough is traditionally folded and fried to golden perfection, though some variations may be baked for a lighter option. While Cheese Sambousek is a source of calcium and protein thanks to the cheese filling, it can be high in calories, fat, and sodium, particularly if fried. Choosing a baked version and pairing it with a fresh salad can make this delightful appetizer a more balanced choice. Its blend of creamy textures and crispy edges makes Cheese Sambousek a beloved indulgence in Middle Eastern feasts and gatherings.
