About Esfiha queijo

Esfiha Queijo is a savory pastry originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly popularized in Brazil. This dish features a soft, doughy base folded into a triangular or open-faced shape, filled with a rich cheese mixture, typically made with mozzarella or cream cheese. Some recipes may also include herbs or spices for added flavor. Esfiha Queijo is known for its satisfying combination of fluffy bread and creamy cheese, making it a beloved snack or appetizer. While it provides protein and calcium from the cheese, it is often high in saturated fats and calories due to its dairy content and refined-flour dough. Moderation is key when enjoying Esfiha Queijo as part of a balanced diet. It pairs well with fresh vegetables or a salad for a wholesome meal.
