Syrian Fatayer is a savory pastry originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly popular in Syria. These crescent-shaped turnovers are typically made with a soft, flaky dough filled with a variety of ingredients such as spinach, cheese, minced meat, or za'atar—a blend of herbs and spices. The spinach version is prized for its vibrant flavor and health benefits, as it provides essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Fatayer made with cheese, often using akkawi or feta, is rich and creamy but higher in sodium. Meat-filled options are protein-packed, though they can be higher in fat, depending on the cut of meat used. The dough, traditionally enriched with olive oil, adds heart-healthy fats, but its refined flour base may lack whole-grain benefits. Fatayer is typically baked, making it a healthier alternative to fried pastries and a delightful addition to a balanced diet when consumed in moderation.
