About Fateer

Fateer, also known as Egyptian layered pastry or Fateer Meshaltet, is a traditional dish from Egypt with a rich, buttery flavor and flaky texture. Its base ingredients typically include flour, water, butter, and sometimes milk or oil, creating thin layers that are folded and baked until golden and airy. While often served plain, versions can be stuffed with sweet fillings like honey or jam, or savory ingredients such as cheese or meat. Fateer is deeply rooted in Egyptian cuisine and often shared during special occasions or gatherings. Nutritionally, its high content of refined flour and butter makes it energy-dense but less ideal for balanced diets due to its limited fiber and high fat profile. Moderation is advised, especially for those watching calorie intake or saturated fat levels. Pairing Fateer with fresh fruits or lean proteins can make it part of a more rounded meal.
